Background: Dental implants as an effective and predictable way of replacing lost teeth. The present study was conducted to assess outcome of dental implants and teeth in different age groups clinico-radiographically. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 40 subjects age ranged 18- 60 years of both genders. Subjects were divided into two groups of 20 each. Group I subjects were in age group 18-39 years and group II in age group 40-60 years. After implant insertion, all patients were recalled for follow up for clinical and radiographic evaluation made at the 0 (1 week after placement), 6 months and 1 year of implant placement. Results: It was found that mean BOP around implant and at adjacent teeth was non- significant. The mean clinically pocket depth around implant and adjacent teeth found to be significant (P< 0.05). The mean radiographic pocket depth around implant and at adjacent teeth was also significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: There is considerable less pocket depth, bleeding on probing index and radiographic bone loss in young adults as compared to old patients.
Key words: Bleeding on probing, Dental, implant, Pocket depth
