Brief Summary

This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of two-implant retained polyetheretherketone (PEEK) overdentures on reducing the transmitted forces on implants placed with ridge splitting either treated with laser biostimulation or not.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
plaque indexOne year

score 0 = no plaque; score1 = plaque only detected with a probe; score 2 = plaque visible to the naked eye; score 3 = abundant plaque1111

gingival indexone year

Score 0: normal peri implant mucosa; score 1: mild inflammation, slight colour change, and slight edoema; score 2: moderate inflammation, redness, edoema, and glazing; and score 3: severe inflammation, marked redness and edoema, and ulceration.

crestal bone lossone year

measuring marginal bone loss arround dental implants in mm by digital radiograph

probing depthone year

A periodontal probe was used to measure pocket depth (PD). The distance between the marginal border of the mucosa and the tip of the periodontal probe at the base of the gingival sulcus was scored as the probing depth.

bleeding indexone year

score 0: no bleeding when using a periodontal probe; score1: isolated bleeding spots visible; score 2: a confluent red line of blood along the mucosal margin; score 3: heavy or profuse bleeding).
