Introduction to Immediate Loading in Implantology
2019
Branemark traditional recommendation was to perform implant rehabilitation in two stages: the first entry was only for implant placement; after 3–6 months of undisturbed submerged healing for mandible and maxilla, respectively, a second surgical entry would have allowed loading of the implants. The rationale behind this approach was that implant micro-movements as consequence by an inadequate primary stability, caused by functional forces at the bone-implant interface in the early wound healing stages, could have induced fibrous tissue formation rather than new bone, eventually causing clinical failure. The main request was to reduce the overall rehabilitation time from surgery to final res…
Immediate loading with fixed full-arch prostheses in the maxilla: review of the literature
2014
Objectives: To critically review the evidence-based literature on immediate loading of implants with fixed full- arch prostheses in the maxilla to determine 1) currently recommended performance criteria and 2) the outcomes that can be expected with this procedure. Study Desing: Studies from 2001 to 2011 on immediate loading with fixed full-arch maxillary prostheses were reviewed. Clinical series with at least 5 patients and 12 months of follow-up were included. Case reports, studies with missing data and repeatedly published studies were excluded. In each study the following was assessed: type of study, implant type, number of patients, number of implants, number of implants per patient, us…
Sensitivity and Specificity of Stability Criteria for Immediately Loaded Splinted Maxillary Implants
2014
Background To assess the suitability of dental implants for immediate loading, primary stability is usually evaluated intraoperatively. Purpose This retrospective study aimed to assess the suitability of three stability parameters – namely, insertion torque (IT), implant stability quotient (ISQ; measured by resonance frequency analysis), and Periotest (PT) values – as potential predictors for the risk of nonosseointegration of immediately loaded splinted implants. The stability parameters were routinely collected under immediate loading. Materials and Methods Nineteen patients with 11 edentulous and 8 partially edentulous maxillae were treated with 105 dental implants, which were immediatel…
Diagnosis and Planning in Immediate Loading: Prosthetic Diagnosis
2019
Immediate loading provides functional and esthetic advantages, improving the quality of life of the patient during the osseointegration period. But, clinicians have to know that the three key parameters that should be evaluated for prosthetic planning of the totally edentulous patient are prosthetic space, lip support, and smile line. This is a crucial part of the planning because the prosthetic space, lip support, and smile line determine the type of prosthetic restoration.
Complications of guided surgery and immediate loading in oral implantology: a report of 12 cases.
2011
Objectives: The growing interest in minimally invasive surgery, together with the possibility of fitting prostheses with immediate function, have led to the development of software capable of planning and manufacturing a surgical guide and prosthesis that can be placed upon conclusion of the implant surgery step. The present study evaluates the surgical and prosthetic complications of implant treatment with the guided surgery technique, together with patient comfort during and after treatment. Patients and methods: A retrospective observational study was made of 19 patients with partially or totally edentulous upper and/or lower maxillae, involving the placement of a total of 122 implants. …
Guided Surgery and Immediate Loading
2019
Computer-assisted implant dentistry can contribute for a better treatment planning, for the implementation of the implant placement, for capturing the intraoral situation, for processing data to design temporary and final prostheses, and for the manufacturing of prosthetic components.
Immediate Loading with Fixed Full-Arch Prosthesis in the Edentulous Patient: Treatment Protocol
2019
Immediate loading is basically a prosthetic concept. However, the surgical implantological planning is very important to ensure a primary stability in the total edentulous patient. This characteristic is crucial to allow immediate loading in this type of patients. For the first time, the incisional design has allowed the clinician to overview about the surgical side. Later, maybe, the bone will need an osteoplasty to regularize possible bone defects. To ensure primary stability, it can use methods to enhance primary stability as undersized drilling technique and use of osteotomes and bi-cortical anchorage implants. There are two main protocols to obtain temporary immediate loading full-arch…
Diagnosis and Planning in Immediate Loading: Implant Selection
2019
Despite the increasing patients’ desire for immediate prosthetic loading of implants, several factors must be taken into account before pursuing the immediate loading (IL) protocol. In general, the number, size, characterization, and distribution of implants should be based on the implant-prosthodontic plan, arch form, and available bone quality and quantity, regardless of the loading protocol. However, implant selection in IL represents one of the most important clinical challenges due to the primary stability requirement.
Bimaxillary simultaneous immediate loading of full-arch restorations : a case series
2017
Aim To describe a bimaxillary simultaneous immediate loading protocol with full-arch implant-supported fixed prostheses. Material and Methods A prospective case series of 8 patients who required full-arch rehabilitation was conducted. The main inclusion criteria were patients with teeth that required extraction. At least 1 molar per arch was temporarily employed to stabilize the surgical template and the provisional prosthesis during intraoral relining. Results Two upper implants failed in 1 patient. Structural fracture was registered in 3 patients, around 3 months after loading. All of them had bruxism. Three esthetic complications were registered: midline deviation, canting of the oclusal…
Implant loss and crestal bone loss in early loading versus delayed and immediate loading in edentulous mandibles. A systematic review and meta-analys…
2021
Background Information about the risk of early loss and crestal bone loss of dental implants which have been loaded early is scant if compared with data available for those conventionally or immediately loaded. A meta-analysis of early loss and crestal bone loss in immediate or delayed loaded full mandibular denture retaining dental implants has been recently published. It is interesting to evaluate also the risks of early versus immediate and delayed loading in complete mandibular restorations. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to study early (EL) versus immediate (IL) and delayed loading (DL) protocols in edentulous mandibles to determine whether differences exis…
