Retrospective Study on Immediate Functional Loading of Edentulous Maxillas and Mandibles With 690 Implants, Up to 71 Months of Follow-Up

Immediate loading over lower prosthesis in edentulous mandibles: comparison between two types of prosthetic connection

“…Galindo-Moreno et al 21 also found significantly higher marginal bone loss in implants with external connection (0.714 mm/year) as compared to implants with internal connection (0.516 mm/ year) installed in the mandible after 6 and 18 months. However, as in the present study, other authors found no statistical difference in bone loss around implants with internal and external connections 6,9 . Thus, it is observed that the action of different types of connections on the perimplant bone resorption is a controversial subject in the literature and requires further studies and longer follow-ups for better clarification.…”

“…Initially immediate loading was mostly recommended for lower prosthesis in edentulous mandibles. It is presently used in various types of implantsupported rehabilitation, as long as there is primary stability of the implants [5][6] . However, the connection type and load conditions directly affect the success of implant-supported rehabilitation 4,[7][8] .…”

“…Li et al 6 , followed for 12 months implants installed in fully edentulous jaws subjected to immediate loading and found a higher success rate (98.7%). In this study, we observed a 100% success rate for the short follow-up, since no loss or failure was observed.…”

Immediate Postextractive Dental Implant Placement with Immediate Loading on Four Implants for Mandibular‐Full‐Arch Rehabilitation: A Retrospective Analysis

“…Indeed, authors refer to immediate loading even when dealing with a 20 8 or even 30-day period 9 between surgery and actual loading. In the fourth ITI Consensus Conference, immediate loading was defined as a prosthesis that is placed in occlusion with the opposing dentition within 48 hours of implant placement 10 .The concept of immediate loading was first applied to the loading of multiple implants in both the maxilla and mandible 11 for full arch restorations 11,12,13,14 , with predictable results.Currently, the survival rates for implants subjected to immediate loading in mature mandible bone vary between 80% and 100% 15,16,17,18,19 . However, most of the studies published on immediate loading in the mandible have examined mature bone in edentulous patients 5,8,17,20,21,22 .…”

Osseointegration of dental implants without primary stability: an experimental study in sheep

“…Several studies have shown that single stage surgery with immediate placement of dental implants after extraction and immediate loading of implants has predictable and successful results comparable to those of the traditional 2-stage protocol. [8][9][10][11][12] Comprehensive reviews of in vivo studies have reported that micromotion at the bone -implant interface in the range of 50 to 150 µm may adversely affect osseointegration and remodeling at bone bone-implant interface. [6][7][8][9] A review of literature found no studies evaluating the fate of dental implants when placed without primary stability.…”
