Immediate occlusal loading of Osseotite implants in the lower edentulous jaw

Abstract

The results of this study suggest that the rehabilitation of the edentulous mandible by an immediate occlusally loaded hybrid prosthesis supported by five to six Osseotite implants represents a viable alternative treatment to classic delayed loading protocols.

Mise en charge immédiate à l’aide d’implants 3I-Osséotite® chez l’édenté total mandibulaire : résultats à trois ans

“…Les résultats obtenus dans la présente étude font état d'un taux de succès implantaire de 98,3 % à trois ans, et confirment que l'emploi d'implants texturés Osséotite ® est compatible avec le protocole de mise en charge immédiate [30,31]. L'échec d'un implant avant la réalisation de la prothèse définitive apparue chez le patient prenant de la Métadone ® ne permet pas d'établir un lien entre la prise de ce médicament et la perte de l'implant.…”

Novel Surfaces for Clinical Usage: The Use of Dual Acid Etching, a Historical Review, and Current Applications

“…When the DAE implants were immediately loaded in mandibles, a cumulative survival rate of 98.9 % was achieved for up to 48 months of follow-up, while the prosthetic cumulative survival rate for the same period was 100 %. Marginal bone loss at the immediately loaded implants was within the generally accepted conventional limits for standard delayed loading protocols [ 40 ]. Additional human biopsies revealed that under immediate loading the DAE may yield above 78 % of BIC after 4 months [ 41 ].…”

Use of Implant Retained Splint for Vestibuloplasty: Alternative to Conventional Technique

“…The surface was covered with collagen membrane and secured with interrupted sutures. The ball abutments were screwed to the implant body as adequate primary stability for immediate loading of implants was achieved [4,5].…”
