Influence of Patient’s Age and Gender on DentalImplant TreatmentFiveYear retrospective study

“…This age group seems to have more dental extractions compared to other age groups. In their study on Iraqi patients' sample, Salih & Al-Nimer found that the highest percentage of tooth extraction (26.96%) was recorded in this age group (13) It is generally agreed that posterior teeth loss in both upper and lower arches is more common than upper and lower anterior teeth loss (13,14) . This certainly influences the demand for a dental implant in different jaw regions for both gender groups.…”
