Özet
INTRODUCTION: The primary aim of this 2-years prospective observational study was to compare the marginal bone loss around implants between patients with healthy periodontal tissues and those with periodontitis history all of whom were in regular maintenance program.The secondary aim was to evaluate the possible relation of smoking on marginal bone loss around dental implants.METHODS: Thirteen patients with periodontitis and seven periodontally healthy individuals were recruited.Periodontal and periimplant clinical examination was performed in the maintenance visits and full-mouth debridement and oral hygiene instructions were provided if needed.Marginal bone levels were evaluated at 10-days, 1-month, 6-months and 2-years controls after implant placement.RESULTS: Ten patients with periodontitis history (number of implants = 27) and six periodontally healthy individuals (number of implants = 10) completed the 2-years follow-up.In periodontitis group 4 and in healthy group 2 patients were smokers.At 6-months and 2-years, all clinical measurements and marginal bone loss exhibited significantly higher values in the periodontitis group.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: Marginal bone loss was higher in smoker patients with periodontitis history despite the regular maintenance program.Frequent recall visits not less than twice a year are suggested to prevent severe marginal bone loss around dental implants particularly in smoker patients with a history of periodontitis.
