Aim: Radiographic assessment of dimensional changes of peri implant tissues in immediately placed implants with non-functional loading in maxillary esthetic zone with Internal Hex (IH) and Conical Tapered (CT) connections
Materials and Methods: 20 immediately placed implant with immediate loading were inserted in the maxillary esthetic zone, patients meeting the inclusion criteria were allocated into one of the two groups: Internal Hex or Conical tapered connection.
Results: Pink Esthetic Scores(PES) of the CT connection showed significantly higher values than IH. It was shown that the IH group showed statistically significant higher mean value than the CT connection in the values of crestal bone loss using CBCT.
Conclusion: CT connection has proved to result in better clinical, radiographic and volumetric outcomes than IH.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
