Clinical and radiological of the effects of two different implant surfaces on marginal tissues

Aim: In this study, our aim is to compare the effects of dental implants with nano laser excimer technology surface (NLE) and dental implant surfaces (MTX) with micro-roughened surface on marginal tissues with clinical and radiological data. Methodology: A total of 117 dental implants were followed clinically and radiologically. Clinically; Plaque index (silness-leöe), bleeding index in boring, pocket depth were evaluated and recorded 1 week after the insertion of the healing cap, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after the end of the prosthesis. In the same periods, periapical x-rays were taken with the Rinn Holder method and the amount of marginal bone loss was measured. The data were analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics Version 22 package program. Results: There was no loss in the implants included in the study. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of plaque index, bleeding index values (p>0,05). However, the pocket depth of the dental implant group with nano laser excimer technology surface is significantly lower than the micro-roughened surface group. There are statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of radiological marginal bone loss at 0, 3, 6, and 12 months (p<0,05). Radiological marginal bone loss values ​​of the micro-roughened surface group at 0, 3, 6, and 12 months were significantly lower compared to the same periods of the nano laser excimer technology group. Conclusion: It has been determined that the surface properties of dental implants can be effective on marginal tissues. In addition, we believe that routine checks by dentists who perform dental implant applications will increase the success of dental implants.   How to cite this article: Bingül MB, Gülsün B.
