Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of implant types, locations, and patient gender on the neck resorption of dental implants.

Materials and Methods: In this study, panoramic films were taken from the patients 12 months later. Then, measurements were made from the mesial and distal of the implants. In addition, the anamnesis of the patients was taken. Age, gender, in which jaw implant is made and the type of implant used have been recorded. Patients with any systemic disease (diabetes, osteoporosis, etc.) were not included in the study. Those with diseases such as gingivitis, periodontitis, endodontic infections/lesions were not included in the study. Measurements were made with the Ostell device and those with the implant stability quotient (ISQ) value below 40 were not included in the study. Two types of cylindrical titanium implants are used. Each implant type was analyzed separately using nonparametric methods. Differences between gender, jaw where implants were placed, and implant types were evaluated using the Mann-Whitney U statistical test.

Results: Although neck resorption was higher in type 1 implant, no statistically significant difference was found (P=0.357, P=0.064). Distal losses were higher in the maxilla, while mesial losses were higher in the mandible.

Conclusions: We think that many factors cause implant neck resorption. These factors include the region where the dental implant is applied, the type of implant, and gender. However, many factors such as oral hygiene, systemic diseases, forces applied to the implant cause implant neck resorption.
