Abstract
Background. Flapless implant surgery has been shown to accelerate recovery and increase the vascularity of the peri-implant mucosa after implant placement.
Objective. The aim of this study was to compare dental implant stabilization patterns between flap and flapless implant surgeries over the first 8 weeks after implant placement.
Study design. In 6 mongrel dogs, bilateral, edentulated, and flat alveolar ridges were created in the mandible. After 3 months of healing, 2 implants (Straumann SLA-active) were placed in each side of the mandible using either a flap or flapless procedure. The implant stability quotient (ISQ) that was obtained from Osstell Mentor was measured at the time of implantation and weekly over the first 8 weeks after implant placement.
Results. Implants stabilized more quickly without flap elevation than with flap elevation. For flapless implants, an increase in stability occurred after 2 weeks without a period of decreasing stability. However, for flap implants, a shift in implant stability from decreasing stability to increasing stability occurred after 2 weeks.
Conclusion. In the canine model, flapless surgical placement of implants may increase the initial stability of implants compared with implants placed after the reflection of the mucoperiosteal flap. (Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol Endod 2011;111:170-173)
