Comparative Evaluation Of Hard And Soft Tissue Changes Around Different Surface Treated Implants In Case Of Immediate Implant Placement: A Clinic-Radiographic Study

Abstract

The response of the tissues to the implant is largely controlled by the nature and texture of the surface of the implant. The study compared clinical outcomes and hard and soft tissue changes around resorbable blast media (RBM) surface treated implants & Alumina Oxide Blasted / Acid Etched (AB/AE) surface treated implants in immediate implant cases. 20 immediate implants were placed after extraction of single rooted tooth in maxillary anterior region and randomly divided into 2 groups, group I received AB/AE surface treated and group II received RBM surface treated immediate dental implants. The clinical parameters assessed at baseline, 1 month, 3 month and 6 month after loading were modified plaque index, modified sulcus bleeding index, peri implant probing depth, crestal bone loss evaluated by digital IOPAR at baseline, 3 month and 6 months after loading. Both the groups showed significant increase in modified sulcular bleeding index, modified plaque index. The peri implant probing depth of RBM was higher as compared to AB/AE. RBM surface treated implants exhibits better clinical performance and less peri implant bone loss than AB/AE surface.
