Objective: We compared the performance of damping capacity assessment (Periotest device) to resonance frequency analysis (Osstell device) in the assessment of peri-implant bone loss in an in vitro experiment.

Material And Methods: Screw-type oral implants were polymerized into acrylic blocks. Peri-implant bone loss was simulated by successively removing defined portions of material surrounding the implants in millimeter increments. Measurement values of both devices were compared by assessing the associated measurement errors, by calculating correlation analyses and drawing scatterplots, and by means of regression analysis referring to increasing bone loss.

Results: Both devices produced comparable results suggesting agreement of the measured implant stability values to the actual loss of peri-implant resin. There was a noticeable correlation of the Periotest and Osstell implant stability values.

Conclusion: The results of this experiment suggest agreement in predicting the actual implant stability with both the instruments with the Osstell instrument being the more precise device.

Background: Peri-implant diseases, such as peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, are inflammatory conditions caused by biofilms that can lead to the loss of surrounding soft tissues and bone. The most effective treatment involves non-surgical mechanical debridement to remove plaque, but other treatment modalities have shown limited success. This study investigated the anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects of atorvastatin (ATV) gel as an additional treatment for peri-implant mucositis.

Dental implant coronal surfaces designed with the primary goal of maintaining crestal bone levels may also promote bacterial adhesion, leading to soft tissue inflammation and peri-implant bone loss. Achieving an optimal surface roughness that minimizes bacterial adhesion while preserving crestal bone is crucial. It is hypothesized that a specific threshold surface roughness value may exist below which, and above which, initial bacterial adhesion does not statistically change.
