Introduction: Bone loss can lead to aesthetic complications, impaired hygiene, excessive forces, improper occlusion and severe cases of implant loss and severe bone damage. Multiple factors contribute to bone loss around implants. This study aims to assess the frequency of peri-implant bone loss and its associated factors in Bandar Anzali in 2023.
Materials and Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was conducted on 207 panoramic radiographs of patients with dental implants retrieved from the archives of an oral radiology clinic in Bandar Anzali, Iran, in 2023. The radiographs were evaluated by a calibrated dental student under the supervision of a radiologist for presence/absence of peri-implant bone loss. Additionally, patients were contacted and surveyed regarding related factors. The data were analyzed using the Chi-square test, with a significant level of P<0.05.
Results: Gender, age, tooth type, implant prosthesis design, opposing occlusion, history of bone grafting, and time passed since prosthetic treatment showed no statistically significant association with peri-implant bone loss (P>0.05). However, bone loss was significantly greater around maxillary implants (P = 0.012), in smokers (P = 0.024), in patients with underlying systemic diseases (P<0.05), and in those with a history of sinus floor augmentation surgery (P<0.05). A direct correlation was observed between bone loss and time elapsed since surgery (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The results revealed a higher prevalence of peri-implant bone loss in the maxilla and among smokers within the study population. Additional influential factors included a history of sinus floor augmentation, time elapsed since surgery, and underlying systemic diseases.
