Long-Term Outcomes of Implant Treatment: A Clinical Case with Ten Years of Follow-Up

Angela Gusiyska

Abstract: Dental implants are widely regarded as a reliable treatment option for the replacement of missing teeth, with long-term survival rates consistently reported in the literature. However, documenting long-term clinical outcomes remains essential for evaluating the stability of treatment outcomes and identifying factors that may influence biological and mechanical success over time. This report describes a clinical case of planned implant therapy with a ten-year follow-up. The treatment protocol included a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation, surgical placement of endosseous implants, and prosthetic rehabilitation with a fixed restoration. Follow-up assessments were performed at regular intervals, with particular attention to peri-implant tissue health, prosthetic integrity, and functional performance. The ten-year evaluation demonstrated stable osseointegration, preserved peri-implant bone levels, and satisfactory aesthetic and functional outcomes without major complications. Minor maintenance procedures were performed to ensure the longevity of the prosthetic components. This case underscores the importance of meticulous treatment planning, adherence to evidence-based protocols, and structured follow-up in achieving predictable long-term outcomes. It further illustrates how individual case documentation can complement large-scale studies by providing detailed clinical perspectives.
