Examining Circumferential Bone Stability around Narrow-Diameter Implants Retaining Mandibular Overdentures: A Three-Year Longitudinal Analysis
VBL and HBL remained stable across all implant faces over the 3-year follow-up period. Nevertheless, the lingual face demonstrated the greatest VBL, whereas the mesial face exhibited the highest stability, with minimal VBL observed in the third year. Early bone remodeling, particularly during the first year of OM use, may affect implant stability and appears to be associated with HBL changes on the lingual and mesial faces.
