Radiological Bone Loss on Different Levels of Dental Implants
One of the criteria used for long-term implant success is the evaluation of radiographic bone loss. It is known that the keratinized mucosa over the alveolar crest forms a protective barrier against inflammatory infiltration. In addition, it has been reported that the vertical mucosal thickness on the crest is important in the formation of the biological width around the implant. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of vertical mucosal thickness on the alveolar crest on peri-implant marginal bone loss around crestal and subcrestal placed platform-switching implants. In this study, patients will be divided into 2 main groups with vertical mucosal thickness of 2 mm and less and more than 2 mm, and both groups will consist of 2 subgroups as crestally and subcrestally according to the implant level placed. A total of 80 implants will be included, 20 implants in each group. Before starting the surgery, after anesthesia is given, the width of the patient's peri-implant keratinized mucosa and the vertical mucosal thickness over the alveolar crest will be measured. Clinical and radiological measurements will be made in all patients during the prosthetic loading session (T0), at 3rd month (T1), 6th month (T2) and 1 year after loading (T3). With standardized control periapical radiographs to be taken as a result of one-year follow-up, the marginal bone loss amount in the implants will be evaluated using soft-ware.
