“…This difference could be even greater if we excluded the results reported by Oh and coworkers. 42 The reasons for the high failure rate in this study are due to small sample size, flapless surgical approach, and implants loading at 2 weeks instead of at the time of insertion. At 2 weeks postimplant insertion, the bone is at its weakest point and should not be torqued or loaded.…”

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 recently become popular due to less trauma, reduced overall treatment time, decreased patient's anxiety and discomfort, high patient acceptance and better function and esthetics. Nonetheless, research and understanding in this area are confuse and sometimes contradictory. Hence, it is the purpose of this review to provide rational for immediate implant loading, summarize current available literature, and analyze factors that influencing this newly introduced treatment method. Results from this review indicated that immediate implant loading achieved similar high success rate as that noted in the conventional approach (delayed protocols). However, a careful case selection, proper treatment plan, meticulous surgery and proper design of prosthesis are essential for optimal outcomes when this approach is adopted.

“…Hong, Park, & Lee (2004) observed nearly 6-log inactivation in CFU of coliform bacteria in sludge after 120 s MW treatment at 2.45 GHz. The use of MW at 650 W for 6 min achieved sterilization of dentures contaminated with Candida albicans (Oh, Shotwell, & Billy, 2006). High frequency electromagnetic MWs are not direct sources of heat, rather with a frequency of 2.45 GHz; the waves agitate the water molecules, which in turn raise the temperature, causing energy to dissipate in the form of heat.…”

“…79 Likewise, IL with flapless surgery technique has also been shown to reduce the treatment period and enhance implant stability compared to the conventional flap surgery protocol. 80,81 According to Oh et al, 82 a flapless implant surgery provides esthetic soft tissue results in single-tooth implants either immediately or delayed loaded. Some studies have also preferred insertion torque as a determinant of implant stability and torque values of 32, 35, 40 N cm and higher have been chosen as thresholds for IL.…”
