Immediate non‐occlusal vs. early loading of dental implants in partially edentulous patients: a multicentre randomized clinical trial. Peri‐implant bone and soft‐tissue levels

Abstract

There were no statistically or clinically significant differences between immediate and early loading of dental implants with regard to peri-implant bone and soft-tissue levels as evaluated in the present study.

Comparative Evaluation of Two Types of Immediately Loaded Implants Using Biomechanical and Histomorphometric Tests: An Animal Case Study

“…To replace a missing teeth, in order to minimize the required time to regain esthetic and function, immediately loaded implants were suggested [13, 27]. In the present study, all implants recorded 100% success rates, and this finding is in agreement with the findings of Chaushu, Degidi, Platteli, and Cooper studies [4, 28, 29].…”

A comparison between immediate loading and immediate restoration in cases of partial posterior mandibular edentulism: a 3‐year randomized clinical trial

“…The rehabilitation of the partially edentulous posterior mandible with immediately loaded, standard diameter implants, in cases when there is a suitable bone volume and quality, has been proposed by many authors (Glauser et al 2001(Glauser et al , 2005(Glauser et al , 2007Cannizzaro & Leone 2003;Testori et al 2003;Degidi et al 2006;Achilli et al 2007; Schincaglia et al 2007;Galli et al 2008;Ganeles et al 2008). Severe chewing forces and bruxism are considered to be significant factors that may compromise the effectiveness of this treatment option (Glauser et al 2001), as parafunctional activity in the posterior regions of the mouth has been reported as an etiological factor closely (Balshi 1996;Piattelli et al 1998;Jaffin et al 2007).…”

“…In order to reduce the early risks of mechanical overload, some authors have proposed to modify the immediate temporary restoration to avoid occlusal contact in centric and lateral excursions (Misch 1998;Testori et al 2003;Achilli et al 2007;Degidi et al 2009a). Using non-occluding temporary restorations supported by immediately restored implants, a recent study (Galli et al 2008) concluded that there were no statistically or clinically significant differences between immediate and early loading of dental implants with regard to peri-implant bone and soft tissue levels. Using non-occluding temporary restorations supported by immediately restored implants, a recent study (Galli et al 2008) concluded that there were no statistically or clinically significant differences between immediate and early loading of dental implants with regard to peri-implant bone and soft tissue levels.…”

Dental occlusion: modern concepts and their application in implant prosthodontics

“…It was indicated that the timing of loading did not seem to have a signifi cant clinical impact on marginal peri-implant bone or soft tissue levels in a short-term perspective. 76 In the other study, no signifi cant differences were found regarding immediate versus delayed loading of single-unit implant restorations of mandibular molars. 77 Even if these results seem promising, more research with longer observation periods is necessary before safer conclusions can be drawn.…”
