Effect of loading time on marginal bone loss around hydroxyapatite-coated implants

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is compare the rate of marginal bone resorption around hydroxyapatite-coated implants given different loading times in order to evaluate their stability. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was conducted retrospectively for one year, targeting 41 patients whose treatment areas were the posterior maxilla and the mandible. Osstem TS III HA (Osstem Implant Co.,...

Bone morphogenetic protein-4 gene polymorphism and early marginal bone loss around endosseous implants.

PURPOSE At stage II surgery during dental implant treatment, early marginal bone loss around the implant occasionally occurs despite a lack of apparent causal events, and the etiology of this bone loss is unclear. This study was designed to investigate whether the bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) genetic polymorphism is associated with early marginal bone loss around implants. MATERIALS A...

an unusual bone loss around implants.

pre-implant disease is an inflammatory process that affects the surrounding tissues of a functional osseointegrated implant. it is usually the result of a disequilibrium between the micro-flora and the defense system. this case reports a 57-year-old man with unusual bone loss around dental implants. this was an unusual case of peri-implantitis that occurred only in the implants on one side of t...
