What is Periodontal parameters of osseointegrated dental implaits. A 4‐year controlled follow‐up study about?

The aim of this study was to evaluate the periodontal parameters of osseointegrated dental implants. The condition of the peri‐implant mucosa was assessed using periodontal parameters, i.e., of plaque index, bleeding on probing, probing pocket depth, probing attachment level and Periotest® scores as well as a radiographic parameter, over a 4‐year follow‐up period. 32 non‐submerged ITI dental implants, all placed in the mandible, were studied in 12 patients who had good oral hygiene. All patients were regularly recalled at 6‐month intervals. The overall implant success rate was 100%. None of the implants showed any signs of inflammation, radiographic bone loss or any detectable mobility during the follow‐up period. Methods similar to those used to evaluate the natural dentition were effectively employed to assess the clinical status of the dental implants. The diagnostic value of these parameters could not, however, be determined from this study due to the absence of any peri‐implant tissue complications. The results indicated that some periodontal parameters of healthy peri‐imolant mucosa might be slightly different from healthy periodontal tissue.
