Table I

Marginal bone level (MBL) in non-axial (NAX) and axial (AX) implants.

Parameters	Time interval	NAX group		AX group		NAX vs. AX
		Mean ± SD	p-Value	Mean ± SD	p-Value	p-Value
Mesial MBL	Baseline	1.18 ± 1.03	<0.00**	0.74 ± 0.71	<0.001**	0.02*
	12 months	3.17 ± 1.65		2.14 ± 0.60
Distal MBL	Baseline	1.38 ± 0.76	<0.002**	0.85 ± 1.13	<0.001**	0.02*
	12 months	3.35 ± 1.83		2.24 ± 0.74

NAX: non axial; AX: axial.

p < 0.05–statistically significant; **p < 0.001–highly statistically significant.
