Until now, the evaluation after an implantation has not been established clearly.
Therefore, with regard to the peri-implant tissue,we performed the radiological parameter observation (AL-equivalent)and the periodontal parameter observation (probing pocket depth and probing attachment level).
In this study, we examined 21 ITI (Bonefit®) implants which were placed in 9 partially edentulous patients. 3, 6, 12 and 18 months following implantation, we examined three parameters. We computed the average and SD of the three parameters and examined the data of the parameters by a simple regression analysis.
Therefore, we found that a correlation existed between AL-equivalent and probing attachment level, and we concluded that measurement of the probing attachment level is an important parameter for the evaluation of implant success in long-term studies.
