Marginal bone loss in implant placement among Indian patients with fresh extraction socket

It is of interest to examine the Marginal Bone Loss (MBL) around a single titanium implant that was immediately loaded and implanted in healed or new extraction site maxilla over period five years. This study involved 36 participants (21 men 15 women, with an average age 31 years), all whom needed have placed front maxillae. The marginal bone loss sockets increased by 0.27±0.18 mm after year, 0.26± 0.17 three years, 0.21 ±0.18 mean change MBL for group ridges 0.27± 0.18 one 0.22±0.18 0.21± 0.17mm Thus, implants positioned either had similar effect on local bone.
