Marginal bone loss around dental implants: comparison between matched groups of bruxer and non-bruxer patients: A retrospective case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To compare marginal bone loss (MBL) around dental implants in a group of bruxers in relation to a matched group of non-bruxers.

Methods

The present record-based retrospective study included patients selected from individuals treated with dental implants at one specialist clinic in Malmö. Only implants not lost and with baseline radiographs taken within 12 months after implant placement and with a minimum of 36 months of radiological follow-up were considered for inclusion. Univariate linear regression models and a linear mixed-effects model were performed.

Results

Two hundred and four patients (104 bruxers, 100 non-bruxers), with a total of 811 implants (416 in bruxers, 395 in non-bruxers) were included in the study. The results of the linear mixed-effects mod
