Implant success and failure rate is analyzed by using Clopper-Pearson’s exact method at 95% confidence interval. Our experiment data indicate that the true success rate of implantation in maxillary natural diastema in rat is less than 38.4% at a confident level of 95% : Is maxillary diastema an appropriate site for implant
