Discussion
Replacement of missing teeth with dental implants is an internationally acknowledged therapeutic approach. The success of an implant is dependent on osseointegration. An implant generates interlocking connections and can transmit axial stresses to the surrounding bone through compression on the screw threads' slanted sides. If a soft connective tissue layer grows surrounding the implan...
Clinical and radiographic observations: All 10 implants were inserted in the mandibular first molar area, with six on the right side (60%), and four on the left (40%). The size of the pre-selected implants varies. The diameter of the implants varied from 3.3mm to 4.2mm, with a mean diameter of 3.66mm for men and 4.11mm for females (p=0.007). [Table/Fig-11]. The implant length varied from 10mm to ...
All patients were administered antibiotics (Cap. Amoxicillin 500 mg tid for 5 days) and anti-inflammatory medicine (tab Diclofenac sodium bid for 3 days). Sutures were removed after seven days. Chlorhexidine mouthwash was administered twice daily for four weeks. The patients were evaluated in the first and third months following first stage surgery. Later, 6 months, and followed up for 6 years at ...

Materials & Methods
From 2007 to 2014, the study was done at the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. In this investigation, we employed single root form implants (Life Care, EZ, Hi-Tec, Two stage, Internal Hex, Tapered Self Thread) [Table/Fig-1], radiographic templates (Life Care, Hi-Tec), diagnostic stent and steel ball, X-ray mesh [Table/Fig-2], bone caliper, and Periotest (Siemens) [...
