Author(s): Husam A Alnuaimy* and Thair A Hassan
Aim: The aim of this study were to evaluate dental implant stability and marginal bone level after immediate implant placement with simultaneous grafting of the peri-implant gap with either xenograft or alloplastic bone graft. Materials and methods: Twenty two patients (18 females and 4 males) received 36 immediate dental implants inserted in maxillary fresh extraction sockets, was randomly assigned into two groups with peri-implant gap augmentation with either xenograft (Group A) or alloplastic bone graft (Group B). Implant stability measurements were measured by Periotest M device and marginal bone levels was measured with the aid of othropantomogram radiography, both measurements on immediate postoperative (Baseline) and after a period of six months. Results: The percentage of change of secondary stability betwe.. Read More»
