In these patients, peri-implant soft tissue conditions and radiographic<br>marginal changes were evaluated one year after surgery.<br>Results: None of the implants was lost during follow-up, giving a success rate of<br>100%. The mean score of GI was (0.28 mm SD = 0.21), the average BOP index was<br>(0.12, SD= 0.05) and the mean pocket probing depth was (2.7 mm, SD= 1.1).<br>The mean marginal bone loss (0,4 mm, SD = 0.49) range ( 0.0 – 1.2 mm ).<br>Whereas 34 implants showed no bone loss at all.<br>The results of this study demonstrate that flapless implant surgery is a predictable<br>procedure. In addition, it is advantageous for preserving crestal bone and mucosal<br>health surrounding dental implants.</p> ER -
