Marginal Bone Level Around Dental Implants in Periodontitis Patients ((MBL))

May 20, 2026 updated by: Howida Sabry

Evaluation of Marginal Bone Level Around Dental Implants With Two Types of Surface Characteristics in Periodontitis Patients

This study evaluates and compares marginal bone level changes around dental implants with two different surface characteristics in patients with a history of periodontitis. Participants will receive dental implants and will be followed up for one year to assess bone level changes around the implants.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Patients with treated periodontitis who require dental implants will be divided into two groups based on implant surface type. Marginal bone level will be assessed radiographically at baseline, then at 3 months,6 months, and 12 months after implant placement. The study aims to determine whether implant surface characteristics influence marginal bone loss in periodontitis-susceptible patients over a one-year follow-up period.
