Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: This study investigated the relationship between calcitonin receptor (CTR) genotype and buccal marginal bone loss observed at stage II surgery for endosseous implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 237 implants were placed in 35 patients; 89 implants were placed in maxillae and 148 implants in mandibles. The CTR genetic polymorphism was examined by the polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment...
