Abstract :Background: The aim of the study was to assess implant and prosthetic failure rates and patients’ evaluations following 2-year observation. Methods: The study was conducted among 110 patients (60 male, 50 female). During recall visits during the first and second year of prosthesis insertion, researchers conducted the clinical examination. A questionnaire was used to evaluate the patient’s satisfaction with the prostheses\\\'. The obtained data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, Chi-Square, Mann-Witney, and Kruskal-Wallis analysis (α<0.05). Results: In the maxilla and the mandible, the most commonly used prosthesis was cement-retained fixed partial dentures (31.4% and 29.6%, respectively), while the least common procedures were full arch screw retained attachments (2.9% and 3.5%, respectively). The most commonly used material was metal-ceramic (64.2%). Survival rates of implants were similar in the maxilla (94.7%) and the mandible (95.2%) (P=0.544). Prosthesis survival rates were also similar (P=0.094): 76.2% were in the maxilla, and 78.3% were in the mandible. The highest technical and mechanical complication rates were observed in partial fixed denture prostheses inserted in the maxilla and the mandible (26.8% and 25.6%, respectively). In the maxilla and mandible, the most frequent complication was ceramic chipping (16.2% and 15.6%, respectively), followed by occlusal screw loosening (3.8% and 2.6%, respectively). Patients’ satisfaction rates ranged between 91%-95% in terms of function, aesthetics, and convenience. Conclusion: After a use time of 2 years, high survival rates and patient satisfaction ratings were obtained. There was no significant difference in implant failures, while prosthetic failures were higher in fixed partial dentures. Keywords: Dental implants, dentist, mandible, maxilla
