ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The use of an appropriate graft material helps in an adequate amount of osseointegration. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a synthetic allograft (PerioGlas), and Bio-Oss, a bioresorbable xenograft in immediate implant procedures. METHODS: In this randomized, prospective study, 90 patients were categorized into three groups with 30 samples in each as Group A: patients who received PRP with an immediate implant; Group B: immediate implants with synthetic allograft (PerioGlas); and Group C: patients with immediate implants placed using bioresorbable xenograft (Bio-Oss). Postoperative follow-up was done based on plaque and gingival index, measurement of probing depths, and resorption of bone. Obtained data were statistically analyzed using the "one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA)" test. RESULTS: Inter-group statistical comparisons between gingival and plaque indices at three, six, and 12 months of follow-up in the study groups demonstrated no statistical significance (p > 0.05). The mean probing depths and resorption of bone at three, six, and 12 months of follow-up were statistically nonsignificant (p > 0.05) on the inter-group comparison. CONCLUSION: It could be concluded from the present study that there is no statistical superiority observed among PRP, PerioGlas, or Bio-Oss in terms of their usage as a graft material along with immediate implant placement procedure.
ABSTRACT
AIMS AND OBJECTIVE: Chemically modified and sandblasted acid-etched (SAE) mechanism leads to wettability of surfaces of dental implants which helps in osseointegration. The present study was conducted to determine the implant stability quotient (ISQ) of SAE and SAE chemically modified dental implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study was conducted on 210 patients with 120 males and 90 females. Dental implants (Adin) with SAE (Group A) and SAE chemically modified (Group B) were inserted in patients. RFA was done immediately after implant insertion and after 1 week, 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 10 weeks, and 14 weeks. Results were statistically evaluated using SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 21.0, IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA. RESULTS: Maximum patients were in the age group of 25-35 years (males - 65, females - 48), followed by 35-45 years (males - 40, females - 32) and 45-55 years (males - 15, females - 10). Maximum dental implants were given in the right side (88) in males than females (56). On the left side, maximum implants were given in females (62) than males (56). Maximum RFA value of 86.2 and minimum value of 44.6 were observed in SAE dental implants (A). The maximum mean RFA value in chemically modified implants SAE (B) was 89.4 and minimum was 32.5. CONCLUSION: It was observed that surface treatment of dental implants shows higher implant-bone osseointegration. There is fastest osseointegration in implants with hydrophilic surfaces than those with SAE surfaces. ISQ was higher than 75 in both groups, which indicate higher implant stability.
