Multiple linear regression analysis evaluating the association between patient-related and implant-related variables and marginal bone loss. Regression coefficients (β), standard errors, t values, and corresponding values are presented. Age and sex were included as patient-related covariates, while implant angulation and opposing dentition were evaluated as implant-related variables. A value ^* Indicates statistically significant.
