AI Article Synopsis
- The study looked at Marginal Bone Loss (MBL) around titanium implants placed in the front maxilla of 36 participants (21 men and 15 women, average age 31) over five years.
- MBL measurements showed a slight increase: 0.27 mm after one year, 0.26 mm after three years, and 0.21 mm after five years in extraction sockets; similar results were observed in healed ridges.
- The findings indicate that immediate loading of implants in both healed ridges and extraction sockets results in comparable MBL outcomes over time.
Article Abstract
It is of interest to examine the Marginal Bone Loss (MBL) around a single titanium implant that was immediately loaded and implanted in a healed or new extraction site in the maxilla over a period of five years. This study involved 36 participants (21 men and 15 women, with an average age of 31 years), all of whom needed to have a single implant placed in the front maxillae. The average marginal bone loss (MBL) in extraction sockets increased by 0.27±0.18 mm after a year, 0.26± 0.17 mm after three years, and 0.21 ±0.18 mm after five years. The mean change in MBL for the group of healed ridges was 0.27± 0.18 mm for one year, 0.22±0.18 mm for three years, and 0.21± 0.17mm for five years. Thus, implants loaded immediately and positioned in either healed ridges or extraction sockets had a similar effect on the local bone.
