Dental Implants Used for Orthodontic Anchorage in Patients with Treated Stage IV Periodontitis: A Retrospective Case-Control Study.

ABSTRACT: Little is known about the effects of orthodontic loading on dental implants used for orthodontic anchorage in patients with Stage IV periodontitis. This retrospective case-control study included 58 dental implants in 24 patients with treated Stage IV periodontitis. The dental implants were used for both chewing function and orthodontic anchorages. The outcome measures included peri-implant marginal bone loss and peri-implantitis. Pair t-test and Wilcoxon rank-sum test were used to analyze the impact of implants as orthodontic anchorage on marginal bone loss (MBL) and peri-implantitis. No implants were lost during the 17-year follow-up. There was no statistically significant difference in the MBL and incidence of peri-implantitis between implants used as orthodontic anchorage and non
