Measuring peri-implant bone levels on intraoral radiographs. The peri-implant bone level at the distal side of an implant is measured by drawing a line (yellow, dotted) over the implant-abutment interface, and measuring its distance (yellow, full; indicated by the red arrow in the radiograph) from the most apical point of crestal bone in intimate contact with the implant through to the calibrated image-analysis software (in the example being shown, 2.931 mm, indicated by the red arrow in the measurement window). The measurement will be repeated at the mesial side, and the two will be averaged. The MBL will be calculated as the difference between this averaged value and that measured repeating the whole procedure on the corresponding immediate post-insertion intraoral radiograph
