Immediate functional loading of Brånemark single tooth implants

摘要: A clinical and radiographical study was performed to evaluate the treatment outcome of single tooth replacements with artificial crowns retained implants installed according a 1-stage surgical procedure immediate loading (Experimental Group = EG) in comparison original 2-stage concept (Control CG). The EG comprised 14 patients (= implants) CG 8 implants), all losses anterior molars. Beyond non-smoking criterion following criteria were adopted: i) amount bone had allow for installation fixture minimum length 13 mm O 3.75 mm, ii) jaw relationship bilateral occlusal stability, iii) should be judged non-bruxers, iv) available follow-up maintenance programme. In temporary crown connected implant within 24 h installation. Six months later this replaced permanent one. prosthetic followed standard protocol. Out fixtures 2 lost up 5 function subsequently removed. All remaining 12 stable at every subsequent examination. No recorded group follow-ups. At 6-month observation interval participating 20 radiographically examined, an examination that repeated 18-month follow-up. analysis radiographs from as well disclosed during 12-month period mean change support about 0.1 mm. Further studies, designed controlled multicenter ones, have before results pilot can recommended more general use.
