PG - 17-9 AB - OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and a possible correlation between peri-implant mucosal inflammation and marginal bone loss in a group of Chinese patients who received IMZ and Frialit-2 implants one year after restoration. METHODS: The clinical and radiography parameters of 108 IMZ and Frialit-2 dental implants in 70 patients were measured. RESULTS: There were no signs of mobility and peri-implant radiolucencies in any of the implants. The average bone loss adjacent to implants was (0.63 +/- 0.78) mm. The prevalence of peri-implant mucosal inflammation, as indicated by suclus bleeding index (SBI) of 1.0 or more, was 32.9%. Significant correlation was found between mucosal inflammation and bone loss. The severely inflamed sites experienced greater bone loss than that of healthy or slightly inflamed sites (P < 0.05). In 92% of sites, plaque index (PLI) of more than 1 was measured on implant surfaces. The periodontal status of the remaining natural teeth in each subject was evaluated using the community periodontal index of treatment need (CPITN). Of the 70 examined patients, 15 patients needed oral hygiene instruction, 44 needed scaling and root planing, 8 patients needed periodontal surgical therapy, and only 3 did not need any periodontal treatment. CONCLUSIONS: The 1-year outcomes from this patient series indicated that IMZ and Frialit-2 implant provide satisfactory clinical results. One of the etiologic factors of alveolar bone loss around implants seems to be plaque-associated marginal inflammation. Improvement of oral hygiene, elimination of marginal tissue inflammation, and proper treatment of periodontal disease of natural teeth are needed for maintaining the implants in these observed subjects.
