Intricate estimation of bone levels after immediate dental implant therapy with bone graft at various time periods

Abstract

Aim: This in vivo study was conducted to estimate bone levels after immediate dental implant therapy with autogenous bone graft at various time periods. Materials & Methods: Total 10 male and 6 female patients in the range of 27-47 years were included in the study. Patients those reported for immediate rehabilitation of existing single posterior teeth were included. After immediate implant placement with graft, alveolar bone loss was checked by cone beam computed tomography. All participating patients were recalled in post operative phases to see bone losses at all studied sites at all four surfaces mesial, distal, buccal and lingual. Results were entered in table and subjected to basic statistical analysis. P value less than 0.05 was considered significant (p< 0.05). Statistical Analysis and Results: All statistical analysis was completed by using statistical software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. In the age range of 27-29 years, there was one male and one female patient. P value was highly significant for that (0.01). For bone losses seen in two month post operative phase, maximum mean bone loss was there on buccal and distal surfaces. p value was highly significant for mean loss noticed at distal (0.01) and buccal surface (0.02).
