Aim: The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare, among various implant systems, the influence of primary stability and the bone density and soft tissue biotype of the patient on the amount of peri-implant crestal bone loss after 1 year using radiography. Materials and methods: Included in this retrospective study were patient records of 3583 implant placements utilized from an online dental information archiving software (DIAS). Clinical and radiographic assessments were conducted concurrently with implant placement (baseline) and 1 year post surgery. Statistical analysis was done to examine the mean marginal bone loss significance in the three different implant systems groups (group I: Straumann Roxolid SLAc-tive, group II: Nobel Biocare CC, group III: Straumann SLA), different primary stability values, different bone density. and soft tissue biotype at the time of implant placement. Results: A significant difference was observed in the crestal bone loss with different implant systems used. Group I showed significantly lesser amounts of crestal bone loss when compared to groups II and III. However, the differences in the bone density, ISQ values, and the soft tissue biotype did not exhibit a statistically significant difference in the amount of crestal bone loss. Conclusion: Significant MBL preservation for implants with Straumann SLActive when compared to Nobel Biocare CC and Straumann SLA implants. No significant changes were observed with respect to primary stability, bone density, and soft tissue thickness and no correlation among early crestal bone loss and IT, ISQ at surgery, and ISQ at reopening was observed. Straumann Roxolid SLActive implants showed less crestal bone loss probably owing to its hydrophilic surface modification. However, more studies need to be done to evaluate the same.
