For years, dental implants have been loaded immediately upon implant placement with varying degrees of success. As clinicians' understanding of the biological and mechanical factors involved in immediate occlusal loading (IOL) has evolved, the success of these procedures has increased--particularly as a treatment option for the restoration of the edentulous mandible or the mandible that will be...

Introduction: The marginal bone change of 1 year loading was evaluated in the non-microthread collar and platform switching structured INNO® dental implant of which the surface is treated with the RBM sandblasting, hyper-thermal acid etching and alkali solution cleaning process for hydrophilic macroand micro-porosity. Material and Methods: A total of 144 implants were placed in the healed ridge...

BACKGROUND Although the bone's capability of dental implant osseointegration has clinically been utilised as early as in the Gallo-Roman population, the specific mechanisms for the emergence and maintenance of peri-implant bone under functional load have not been identified. Here we show that under immediate loading of specially designed dental implants with masticatory loads, osseointegration ...

When treatment with dental implants is indicated, an accurate diagnosis must be made to evaluate the clinical parameters and determine the optimal time for immediate or delayed (ie, early or late) implant placement and loading following tooth extraction. It is also important to identify complications and their implications on the aesthetic outcome. This article explains the behavior of the hard...

Edentulous ridges in the posterior maxilla are often compromised by reduced bone volume. This anatomic condition often limits dental implant placement of 10 mm in length without prior or simultaneous sinus augmentation. The osteotome technique is an alternative and conservative technique for sinus floor augmentation and immediate implant placement in the posterior region of the maxillary jaw. A...

Numerous studies have confirmed the predictability of dental implants used for the replacement of a single missing tooth. Successful application of this surgical protocol is still technique sensitive and should be executed only by experienced restorative teams. Factors such as implant stability, implant design, immediate loading, provisionalization, and various others have a direct influence on...

Purpose. The aim of this scanning electron microscope (SEM) study was to investigate the interface between the bone and a novel nanostructured calcium-incorporated dental implant surface in humans. Methods. A dental implant (Anyridge®, Megagen Implant Co., Gyeongbuk, South Korea) with a nanostructured calcium-incorporated surface (Xpeed®, Megagen Implant Co., Gyeongbuk, South Korea), which had ...

Introduction: The goal of all dental implant therapy is to maintain the esthetics, function and stability restoration peri-implant tissues involved in provisionalization. Objective: To analyze literature on prosthodontic management provisionalization esthetic zones such as whether or not perform immediate loading, emergency profile management, techniques esthetically compromised zones.Methodolo...

The purpose of this review is to explore the concept of immediate loading as it pertains to dental implants and the indications for clinical practice. The definition of immediate loading will be considered together with a review of the relevant literature in an attempt to provide evidence-based guidelines for successful implementation into practice. A search of electronic databases including Me...
