Background: Dental implants are widely used for oral prosthetic rehabilitation in case of partially (single or more missing teeth), as well as fully edentulous patients. The present study was conducted to compare the Marginal Bone Loss in One-stage versus Two-stage Implant Surgery. Material & methods: The present study was conducted among 40 patients with the age range, 18-65 years. The cases were randomly divided into two groups as one-stage and two-stage surgical approach. Implants were placed in all patients. MBL was calculated and data were statistically analyzed by SPSS software (version PASW 18). Independent test was used to compare the mean value of MBL between the two groups. P value less than 0.05 was considered as significant. Results: In the present study a total no. of 40 patients with the age group ranging from 18-65 years old were given implants. Among total 15 participants were male whereas 25 were females. p Value for MBL was 0.421 indicating no notable difference between both the one-stage and two-stage surgical approaches on the basis of gender. p Value for MBL was 0.002 and there was a significant difference between age groups in the average distal and mesial bone loss between both the one-stage and two-stage surgical approaches. The length and diameter of the implants had no significant association between mesial and distal bone loss. Conclusion: The present study concluded that there was no notable difference between both the one-stage and two-stage surgical approaches on the basis of gender, length and diameter of the implant. There was a significant difference between age groups in the average distal and mesial bone loss between both the one-stage and two-stage surgical approaches.
