ABSTRACT
AIM AND OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to determine the stability of immediate-loaded single implants with periotest. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
In this in vivo study, dental implants with a length ranging from 10 to 13 mm and diameter of 3.0-4.2 mm were utilized. Stability of dental implant was evaluated using the Periotest® M handheld device before loading, at 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year.RESULTS:
Implants 11.5 mm in length had the highest mean periotest value (0) after placement, whereas 10 mm-long implant had a value of -0.31 and 13 mm had a value of -0.48. After 1 month, 10 mm had a value of 1.23, 11.5 mm had a value of -0.32, and 13.0 mm had a value of -0.24. After 6 months, 10 mm had a value of 1.78, 11.5 mm had a value of -0.4, and 13.0 mm had a value of -0.41. After 1 year, 10 mm had a value of -0.54, 11.5 mm had a value of -0.51, and 13.0 mm had a value of -0.48. There was an unconstructive relationship between implant length and the average periotest score. There was also an unconstructive association between the implant diameter and the mean periotest value.CONCLUSION:
The implant with long and greatest diameter had higher stability. Periotest can be used to determine dental implant stability. CLINICALSIGNIFICANCE:
Periotest is useful in determining dental implant stability. Large-scale studies may be helpful in obtaining useful results.Key words
