CLINICAL AND RADIOGRAPHIC ASSESSMENT AROUND DENTAL IMPLANT: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the peri-implant tissue clinically and radiographically, a minimum of a year after loading time.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included fifty-eight patients (20 males, 38 females; mean age, 51.78±10.115 years) treated between 2015 and 2019. These patients received 91 tissue- and bone-level Straumann® dental implants (mean implant life 3.64±1.465 years, ranging from 1-6 years). The patient’s demographic and implant details were extracted from the patient’s records. All patients were examined by a calibrated examiner in relation to the following implant-associated parameters: plaque score, bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD), and recession. The marginal bone loss was measured at mesial and distal aspects of the implants on standardized intraoral periapical radiographs (IOPa) by comparing the radiograph at the study time with the baseline radiograph taken immediately after loading. Data were analyzed by using Multiple linear regression and Pearson coefficient ratio.
Results: The results showed only 29.7% of patients had good oral hygiene with a plaque score of less than 10%. However, only 3.3% of implants were noted with plaque accumulated at the implant surfaces. The mean BOP recorded was 18.34±24.21% with the probability sites with PD less than 4 having BOP was 43.21% and the odds ratio 0.286 (p<0.001). There was no significant difference in the probability of BOP observed in terms of gender (male or female), implant location (anterior and posterior), or implant type (tissue level or bone level) with p>0.05. The mean of distal and mesial vertical alveolar bone loss was 0.388±0.593 mm and 0.347±0.515 mm, respectively. The evidence of bone loss was 0.033 mm and 0.008mm bone with increments of 1 year, at distal and mesial sites, respectively.
Conclusions: Clinical and radiographic assessment of dental implants after 1-6 years in function showed promising results, especially in well-maintained implants.
