Presence of One or Two Adjacent Teeth may not impact Marginal Bone Level Changes Around Dental Implants
The presence of One or Two Adjacent Teeth may not impact Marginal Bone Level Changes Around Dental Implants suggests a new study published in the Clinical Oral Implants Research.
Eighty seven patients with 142 implants were re-evaluated after a mean observation time of 14.5 ± 3.5 years. The mBL at mesial implant sites in the TIT group increased −0.07 ± 0.92 mm and decreased in the TIG group 0.52 ± 1.34 mm, respectively (95% CI: 0.04/1.14, p= .037). At distal implant sites, the mBL in the TIT group increased −0.08 ± 0.84 mm and decreased 0.03 ± 0.87 in the TIG group, respectively (95% CI: −0.20/0.42, p= .48). The overall implant loss rate was 3.5% (n= 5; 2 TIT, 3 TIG), without a statistically significant difference between the two groups (95% CI: 0.18/7.07, p= .892). Tooth loss rates (TIT: 12.3%, TIG: 12.3%) were not statisticallysignificantly different (OR = 1.00, p= .989).
