Bone level was measured around 354 implants in 88patients retrospectively and 97 implants in 31 patients prospectively, digitalpanoramic radiograph were taken during recall appointments, and analysis with acomputer software associated method to measure the actual bone loss in mesial anddistal side of the implant during these periods.Over all, the studied implants, experienced most of its crestal bone loss during thepreloading period, followed by dramatic decrease in bone loss rate through thesubsequent study intervals. The result of the present study showed that there issignificant positive correlation between crestal bone loss and age, female showedsignificantly higher amount of bone loss than male in stage-1, while the appositefigure found in stage-2. Data analysis during preloading time indicates significantbone loss with implant location, while highly significant bone loss had been detectedwith maxillary arch, fine trabecular bone density, immediate implant, completeedentulous cases, While implant length, implant diameter and implant stability had anon significant effects on crestal bone loss.
