Abstract
ABSTRACT
Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the crestal bone height changes around laser grooved implants with mandibular overdenture.
Materials and Methods: The study sample comprised of 10 completely edentulous male patients with age range between 40-60 years. In each patient, two laser grooved implants were placed in the interforaminal area. Implants were exposed after three months of healing, and ball abutments were used to retain the mandibular dentures. Crestal bone changes were evaluated using long cone paralleling technique after 0, 6 and 12 months. Data were collected, tabulated and statistically evaluated.
Results: The results showed that mean change in marginal bone height throughout the 12 months follow-up period was 1.12 mm. T-test showed insignificant difference regarding effect of time on bone height changes from baseline to 6 months, from 6 months to 12 months, and from baseline to 12 m as P > 0.05,
Conclusion: From the results of this study, it could be concluded that laser grooved implant retained overdenture showed minimal bone height changes after 1 year from prosthetic loading.
