Background: The aim of the study was to assess implant and prosthetic failure rates and patients’ satisfaction following 2-year observation. Methods: The study was conducted among 110 patients (60 male, 50 female) and 581 implants placed in the maxilla and mandibles. Researchers conducted the clinical examination during recall visits within the first and second year of prosthesis insertion. 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 KruskalWallis 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 screwretained prostheses (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 fixed partial denture prostheses applied to 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.
