Fulltext PDFThe aim of this study was to compare the marginal bone loss around two types of implant system surfaces, Astra tech EV, and Neoss Proactive, after immediate implantation with simultaneous grafting. An outcome study of 84 immediate implants that have been performed in the same treatment settings, with simultaneous grafting, 2-stage approach, and restored 4 months to 6 months later to compare the Marginal Bone Loss (MBL) in the two different implant systems, Astra tech EV (group 1) and neoss proactive (group 2). Total number 84 implants were included, of which 45 were Astra tech EV and 39 were Neoss implants. Both were compared by the periapical radiographs taken up to 10 months post implant placement, in addition to the clinical correlated documentation. All the patients were aged 30 years-56 years old, healthy, with good oral hygiene, and with no significant smoking habits. The grading of the radiographic outcomes was recorded as 0, 1, and 2. The grade 0 represented no crestal bone loss, 1=MBL to 1 mm, and 2=MBL of 1 mm to 2 mm. It was found that no statistically significant difference between group 1 and 2, neither between the location of implants in the oral cavity, P>0.05. Hence, the technique of immediate implantation with simultaneous bone grafting showed predictable marginal bone behavior with no difference between using the two implant systems included in the study neither the location of the procedure in the oral cavity.
