Effect of loading time on the success of complete mandibular titanium implant retained overdentures: a systematic review

Abstract

No deleterious effects up to 24 months have been shown from immediate or early loading. Conventional loading after a 3-month healing period has not been proven to be the only acceptable protocol for mandibular IOD, but further long-term studies are needed to confirm this.

Immediate Loading of Mandibular Overdentures Supported by Unsplinted Direct Laser Metal‐Forming Implants: Results From a 1‐Year Prospective Study

“…The true benefit of any treatment can only be properly evaluated when compared to a reference group, but the higher implant failure percentages showed that one‐implant supported restorations could be related to the use of a single implant to support the prosthetic rehabilitation 20 . With immediate loading protocols, implant‐related factors (number and distribution of the implants, implant length and diameter, design, taper, and surface), surgical technique (preparation of the osteotomy), and patient variables (bone quantity and quality, health condition, smoking habit, and bruxism) are important factors for the final outcome 28 . It is believed that predictable results with immediate loaded implants might be possible if sufficient primary stability could be achieved 28 .…”

“…It is believed that predictable results with immediate loaded implants might be possible if sufficient primary stability could be achieved 28 . For this reason, optimal implant length and diameter are recommended to provide a large bone–implant contact surface 28 . High insertion torque, undersizing of the osteotomy, and avoidance of countersinking have been recommended to provide good initial stability 28 .…”

Early Loading of Implants with Fixed Dental Prostheses in Edentulous Mandibles: 7.2‐Year Clinical Results from a Prospective Study

“…[20][21][22] Furthermore, the implant success rates of the patients attending the recall in 2012 were satisfactory; only 10.1% of the 79 implants failed to meet the Albrektsson criteria of success.

Modeling the electromechanical impedance technique for the assessment of dental implant stability

“…When the structural and functional contact between the living bone and the implant is achieved, it is said that fully osseointegration is attained (Bränemark, 1985). Recent advancements have shown that a single stage is possible (Kawai and Taylor, 2007).…”
