Abstract: A BSTRACT Background: Tooth loss in young adults impacts aesthetics, function, and psychological well-being. Dental implants provide a long-term solution; however, their success depends on a multidisciplinary approach, involving orthodontics, periodontics, prosthodontics, and surgical collaboration. This study evaluates the clinical success and patient satisfaction following multidisciplinary implant therapy in individuals aged 18–24 years. Methods: A prospective clinical study was conducted on 30 patients (40 implants). Preoperative assessments included bone volume, periodontal health, and orthodontic space optimization. Implants (Straumann, bone-level) were placed following Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-guided protocols and restored after a 3-month healing period. Primary outcome measures, included implant stability (ISQ), marginal bone loss (MBL), gingival index (GI), and patient satisfaction (VAS score). Data were analyzed using paired t -tests and repeated-measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Results: At 12 months, implant success was 100%, with ISQ increasing significantly ( P < 0.001). Mean MBL was 0.74 mm ± 0.11 mm, within acceptable clinical limits. GI scores remained stable, indicating healthy peri-implant tissues. Patient satisfaction improved significantly (VAS score from 3.40 to 9.50, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Multidisciplinary implant rehabilitation in young adults is predictable and effective, ensuring optimal stability, periodontal health, and patient satisfaction. Comprehensive treatment planning and long-term follow-ups are recommended.
