ABSTRACT


Purpose: To Evaluate Clinically And Radiographically The Success Of Dental Implants With Or Without Using Osteosynthesis Titanium Microplates In Replacement Of Periodontally Involved Teeth.

Materials and Methods: A Controlled Clinical Trial Designed On 18 Subjects With Periodontally Hopeless Teeth In Need To Dental Implants. All Subjects Received A Total Of 18 Implants, 9 In Each Group. One Group Received Dental Implant With Osteosynthesis Microplates Over Freeze Dried Bone Allograft (FDBA) And Collagen Membrane While The Other Group Received The Same Maneuver Without Osteosynthesis Microplates. Plaque Index [PI], Papillary Bleeding Index [PBI], Probing Pocket Depth [PPD], Clinical Attachment Level [CAL] And Dental Implant Stability [ISQ] Were Measured As Clinical Parameters. Facial Bone Thickness [FBT] And Facial Bone Density [FBD] Were Measured From CBCT Using Simplant Pro Software? (Dentsply Sirona Inc, Germany). Unpaired T-test Is Used To Compare Between Results Of Two Groups.

Results: Group-I Showed Statistically Significant Difference In Items Of ISQ, FBT And FBD Where PI, PPD, PBI And CAL Showed Non-statistically Significant Differences.

Conclusions: Osteosynthesis Microplates Can Be Used Successfully To Enhance And Assist Growing Facial Bone Thickness, Density And Stability Of Dental Implants With GBR.
