Abstract
A dental implant is an idyllic mode of operandi for oral rehabilitation for complete and partially edentulous patients. The success of an implant is based on the health of its surrounding tissues. Therefore, the biological and clinical aspects of implant prosthesis and their surrounding tissues must persist to be investigated. A two-year retrospective clinical-radiological study was conducted to estimate peri-implant soft and hard tissue revolutionization after the placement of implants. A clinical-radiological investigation was carried out to determine the amount of soft and hard tissue revolutionization that occurred following the implantation of 200 implants. From October 2020 to March 2021, the research was carried out in the College of Dentistry at King Khalid University in Saudi Arabia. It was decided to conduct this study using a retrospective clinical record, which involved gathering information about patients who had previously received dental implants within the previous two years. Plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), bleeding index (BI), peri-implant probing depth (PD), and peri-implant crestal bone level were measured at baseline and three months after implant placement in adult patients ranging in age from 20 to 50 years. The results were compared to the full-mouth index (FMI). Ethical clearance and written informed consent were obtained from all the study participants. The statistical analysis was done by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS-23.0 version) (IBM; Chicago). The present study concluded that plaque accumulation, gingival bleeding, and probing depth were increased around implants during the follow-up, but it would not affect crestal bone loss. Still, it is essential to conduct a similar study with a larger sample size and a long follow-up period to give more precise results.
Highlights
A dental implant is an idyllic mode of operandi for oral rehabilitation for complete and partially edentulous patients, since 1965 it has been recognized as a consistent and conventional means for dental reformation, long-term treatment success, and esthetics [1]
The goal of this study was to evaluate peri-implant soft and hard tissue revolutionization following the placement of dental implants using tools such as plaque index, gingival index, bleeding index, peri-implant probing depth, and peri-implant crestal bone at baseline and three months after the placement of the dental implant
An estimation of gingival and periodontal status around the implant sites was done at baseline and after 3 months and the results were compared with the full-mouth index
Summary
A dental implant is an idyllic mode of operandi for oral rehabilitation for complete and partially edentulous patients, since 1965 it has been recognized as a consistent and conventional means for dental reformation, long-term treatment success, and esthetics [1]. Peri-implant tissue firmness is the prime concern. It can affect the esthetics, success, and survival rates of implant restorations [2]. Periimplantitis is defined as an inflammation and demolition of soft and hard tissues adjacent to dental implants [3]. Bleeding on probing upon pressure
