Investigation Of Marginal Bone Loss In Implants With Different Surface Properties And Geometric Designs: A Retrospective Clinical Study

"Digital panoramic radiographs taken during the patients' treatment periods (T0, T1) were used in the study. Measurements of marginal bone levels on radiographs were performed using the Image J software. The distance between the most coronal part of the implant neck and the most apical part of the defect caused by marginal bone loss was measured.~Fractal analysis (FA) was conducted on panoramic radiographs (OPG) with a size of 2952x1435 pixels and a depth of 32 bits. FA on these radiographs at T0 and T1 times was performed using the box counting method determined by White and Rudolp with the ImageJ program(23)."
