PURPOSE Immediate loading and/or restoration of dental implants requires the assessment of implant stability, which is best performed by resonance frequency analysis (RFA) prior to loading. One-piece dental implants are usually used for immediate loading, but there is currently no available reliable method to assess the primary stability of one-piece dental implants. Therefore, this study sough...

The immediate insertion and loading of dental implants although used in the past as an alternative method for the surgical phase of the dental implant treatment is today becoming more and more popular due to its immediate and spectacular results. With information on bone density and a careful patient selection, this method has increased chances of success. Its main advantage is the high degree ...

Loading of dental implants immediately after placement is an important attribute for the patients receiving the implants, but may induce a failure in the osseointegration of the implant. Even though the loading required to induce such failures is currently unknown, it is estimated that the osseointegration may fail if an implant is luxated in bone by more than 50 μm. Therefore, the ability to m...

PURPOSE To investigate the modified protocol for immediate occlusal loading of the zygomatic implants and to report the preliminary results of this modified protocol. MATERIALS AND METHODS Four male patients and 1 female patient with edentulous maxillae were consecutively treated with the zygomatic implants under general anesthesia. All 5 patients were examined by computed tomography and inve...

Aim: To summarize briefly, the purpose of this assignment is to study the current state of knowledge of implant immediate loading in order to know when it is possible to use this procedure. Material and Methods: A bibliographic review has been carried out based on prospective, retrospective and systematic review papers published on Pub Med. Conclusions: Implant immediate loading is a procedure ...

The use of immediate loaded prostheses is not recommended for at least 2 weeks to prevent implants from premature loading. In addition, immediate removable prostheses are negated for at least 4 weeks at the site of guided bone regeneration or bone graft. However, patients are often not pleased with limited diets and the unaesthetic appearance during the healing period without a denture between ...

  Background and Objective: The concept of immediate occlusal loading with dental implants offers several advantages. In this research, the effect of type of restoration on Osseointegration rate of dental implants was histologically evaluated. Materials and Methods: Three months prior to implantation, the lower premolar teeth of 15 dogs were extracted. Then, 3 to 4 Maestro™ implants were plac...

Implant retained mandibular overdentures are a successful treatment option for the edentulous patients with long-term predictable outcomes, using conventional loading protocols. In recent year modified loading protocols such as immediate loading have been introduced. These loading protocols showed good clinical results with favorable peri-implant tissue response after implant insertion. However...

The introduction of osseointegrated implants in dentistry represents a turning point in dental clinical practice. Thanks to their multiple therapeutic possibilities and the high predictability of success, implant therapy is now regarded as an extremely reliable approach to replace missing teeth. The concept of immediate implant loading has become popular due to less trauma, reduced overall trea...
