Dynamic Follow-up of Factors Influencing Implant Success and Models for Predicting Implant Outcomes

Starting from different data types, researchers built a variety of models to mine the data itself and predict the prognosis of the implant. Machine learning is often more impressive and intuitive in terms of images. In the field of oral implantology, researchers analyze preoperative image data based on machine learning to identify important anatomical structures (such as maxillary sinus, mandibular neural tube, etc.) and analyze alveolar bone quality. Large-scale imaging data is also used to identify the different implant systems on the market. Machine learning also plays an important role in the development of implant surgery plans, which is conducive to more accurate and efficient implantation surgery. The evaluation of implant retention rate and individual bone level is also one of the key clinical concerns. Most methods to study such issues are: Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, Cox survival analysis, etc., to study implant retention rate and influencing factors. Linear (mixed) model and multiple logistic regression were used to study the changes and influencing factors of bone absorption at implant edge. However, in daily clinical practice, there may be some practical problems such as lost follow-up and partial data missing. As the clinical scenarios of research become more and more clear, even partial data missing often leads to results that cannot be accurately evaluated and predicted. Therefore, in terms of supervised learning, this study aims to establish a predictive model of implant bone level change and evaluate the accuracy of the model through machine learning of implant edge bone level (MBL) with large amounts of data. In terms of unsupervised learning, the aim is to identify susceptibility phenotypes to implant failure through: clustering of individual-related information about implants.
