The evaluation of peri-implant bone defects with bioelectrical impedance in canine / 实用口腔医学杂志

Objective:To measure the bioelectrical impedance around the dental implants with bone defects.Methods:Bilateral maxillar second premolar were extracted in 6 native mongrel dogs,implants were placed immediately with or without bone defect of corresponding alveolar bene.Impedance value(IV)between the implant and contralateral mouth corner was measured by LCR TEST-ER.IVs were compared and analyzed by SPSS.Results:IVs of bone defect group were bigger than that of control group(P <0.05), in largger defect group were smaller than that in smaller group(P <0.05).Conclusion:Bioelectrical impedance can be used as an evaluation of peri-implant bone defects and the size of bone defect.
