Table 4: The marginal bone loss (MBL) of dental implants at evaluated time points.

Time(T) after implantation |
The mean marginal bone loss (MBL)* |
|
(T1) 3 months after implant installation |
0.31 ± 0.22 |
|
(T2) after prosthesis loading |
0.49 ± 0.21 |
|
(T3) 1- year after implant installation |
0.81 ± 0.42 |
|
(T4) 3- years after implant installation |
1.13 ± 0.54 |
|
(T5) 5- years after implant installation |
1.42 ± 0.53 |
*Mean MBL at T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 was higher than at implant install.
