Background and Aim: Peri implant bone loss is one of the major reasons of implant failure in long run. Several clinical measures have been discussed and tried over the years to overcome this issue. Present study was intended to evaluate bone losses in post treatment stage of osseointegrated implants positioned in mandibular arches. The study was assisted by three dimensional radiography i.e.; cone beam computed tomography. Materials & Methods: This clinical study was completed in the department of Prosthodontics and oral implantology of the college. All twenty four patients were selected randomly in which solitary implant was positioned anteriorly in the lower arch. Informed consents were obtained from all participating patients. Cone beam computed tomography was attempted to see the existing bone in the vicinity of implant. The significance of the study was explained in detail to patients. Marginal bone loss was assessed after stage one surgery at different time intervals. Statistical Analysis and Results: Statistical analysis was attempted by software Statistical Package for Social Sciences. P values smaller than 0.05 was considered as significant. In 24subjects, males were 15 and females were 9 in the age range of 26 to 55 years. Mean values were identified from 0.069 to 0.075 for all three groups. In group II, p value was highly significant. All values were tabulated logically and processed suitably. 95% coefficient interval also revealed very significant inferences. Conclusion: In the studied time periods, recognized bone loss around implants was clinically insignificant. Authors concluded that in the first forty five days of implant positioning, peri implant bone loss is minimal and can be managed easily by routine plaque control measures.
