Change in bone loss
Every 3 months all patients were recalled for assessment of marginal bone loss. The assessment was done using digital periapical radiograph Ezsensor (Vatech intraoral radiographic sensor, Vatech, South Korea) and the technique of radiograph was paralleling technique using sensor holder (TROLLBYTE PLUS, TROLLDENTAL, UK) to ensure same position of cone through subsequent follow-up exposures
Time frame: at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months
