A Retrospective Study of the PRK Implant System: Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes After Three Years of Functional Loading
Keywords:
PRK dental implants, marginal bone loss, retrospective studyAbstract
Objective: To evaluate clinical and radiographic outcomes of the PRK implant system, a newly developed Thai-made dental implant, after three years of functional loading.
Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in 10 patients (2 males, 8 females) receiving 10 PRK implants at Trang Hospital, Thailand. Clinical parameters including probing depth and bleeding on probing were recorded. Marginal bone loss was assessed using standardized periapical radiographs.
Results: Implant survival rate was 100%. Mean marginal bone loss after three years was 0.7±0.1 mm. No peri-implantitis was observed.
Conclusion: The PRK implant system demonstrated favorable clinical and radiographic outcomes after three years of functional loading. Further long-term studies with larger samples are recommended.
