The results demonstrated that Straumann implants with the SLActive surface are safe and predictable when used in immediate and early loading procedures. Even in poor-quality bone, survival rates were comparable with those from conventional or delayed loading. The mean bone-level change was not deemed to be clinically significant and compared well with the typical bone resorption observed in conventional implant loading.

These findings suggest that non-countersunk implants of 7 to 9 mm in length may be successfully restored with single crowns in the maxillary molar region.
