Early and Immediate Loading Protocols for Overdentures in Completely Edentulous Maxillas: A Comprehensive Review of Clinical Trials

“…[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Despite 20 years passing since the introduction of immediate/early loading protocols, there is no consensus on the definition of 'immediate' and 'early protocols. Consequently, throughout the dental literature, the same terminology may be used to describe different loading times.…”

A randomized controlled clinical trial assessing initial crestal bone remodeling of implants with a different surface roughness

“…1,2 With a better understanding of the biological processes yielding osseointegration, it became clear that crestal bonelevel stability over time is the key factor for soft tissue stability and aesthetics. Some studies describe less crestal bone loss of moderately rough surface implants compared to the minimally rough surfaces, 6,7 while others could not confirm this difference. This occurs predominantly during the first 3 to 6 months and strives to a steady-state condition.…”

Influence of Different Implant Geometry in Clinical Longevity and Maintenance of Marginal Bone: A Systematic Review

“…A total of 4006 references were found, and after screening procedures, 24 clinical studies were considered eligible for full‐text analysis. From these, 14 articles were excluded, resulting in 10 included articles that evaluated the influence of different implant geometry in clinical outcomes through RCTs (Fig ).…”
