Abstract The aim of the present study is to compare between the effects of the flap and flapless implant surgery on crestal bone resorption. Subjects and methods Patient selection: The present clinical trial included fourteen patients with age range 25-50 years. The patients presented to replace missing teeth by a dental implant. The selected patients were divided equally into two groups; each group received a total of dental implants: A. group I: (Flap group) represents seven patients for whom implants were inserted by flap surgery. B. group II: (Flapless group) represents seven patients for whom implants were inserted by flapless surgery. Patients were recalled after 3 months and 6 months duration to determine if the implant is functionally comfortable. The following clinical parameters were recorded immediately after loading (base line) and at the end of the study: Probing depth - Bleeding index - Plaque Index - Width of the keratinized mucosa - Radiographic Evaluation (Marginal bone level around the implant, Change in bone density around the implant) |
