Background: Implant treatment is regarded as a safe technique for restoring missing teeth, with high rates of success. Survival conditions for implants may have 2 different categories: satisfactory survival describes an implant with less than ideal conditions, yet does not require clinical management; and compromised survival includes implants with less than ideal conditions, which require clinical treatment to reduce the risk of implant failure. So, the present study was planned to assess the various factors responsible for the survival rate of dental implants. Materials & methods: The study included assessment of the data of 150 patients that got treated with dental implants during the study period was collected and analyzed. Implants were placed in the oral cavity only after consulting patients who had systemic diseases to the specialist of internal medicine. Data, such as patient age, gender, implant type and surface, diameter, length, location, bone quality, prosthesis type were collected and put in order. Statistical analysis of the data was done using SPSS software for windows. Results: Retrospective study of a total 150 cases was done in this study. Of the 150 implants placed totally, 106 were placed in Males and 44 were placed in females. Out of 106 implants placed in males, failure of implants was seen in 3 cases. Of the 44 implants placed in females, 1 case of implant failure was reported. This result was not statistically significant. Conclusion: As implant survival rate is influenced by numerous different factors, it is difficult to analyze a cause of failure objectively
