Implant-retained mandibular overdentures: A comparative pilot study of immediate loading versus delayed loading after two years

Seven‐Year Follow‐Up Results of TiUnite Implants Supporting Mandibular Overdentures: Early versus Delayed Loading

“…23,24 However, only a few studies have reviewed the long-term outcomes of immediate and early loading of unsplinted implants supporting mandibular overdentures. 23,24 However, only a few studies have reviewed the long-term outcomes of immediate and early loading of unsplinted implants supporting mandibular overdentures.…”

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

“…In this situation, osseointegration can take place normally 15 . However, only some studies have dealt with the immediate loading of unsplinted implants supporting mandibular overdentures 14‐20 . It can be hypothesized that unsplinted implants may be negatively affected by immediate loading because the load is not shared between implants 14‐20 …”

“…1,2 The original protocol prescribed a two-stage surgical procedure with a healing period of between 3 and 6 months before functional loading. 1 However, a lengthy period for osseointegration, the need for several appointments, the need for temporary complete dentures and multiple relines of these temporary restorations for classic implant treatment with a fixeddetachable mandibular prosthesis have been the main disadvantages raised by both patients and dental practitioners.…”

[1][2][3][4] The consistently high success rates of the original treatment concept, the patients' desire and continuous improvements in implant materials, designs, and surface treatment techniques have led dental practitoners to reduce the total treatment time, with modified surgical, prosthodontic, and dental laboratory protocols.…”

[5][6][7] One-stage surgery and early or immediate loading, which are the latest advancements in implant dentistry have demonstrated promising results, particularly in the anterior mandible where bone quality is high.…”
