Dental Implant Stability
Conditions
Brief summary
Dental implants have revolutionized oral rehabilitation for partially edentulous patients. Recent advances in implant design and surface treatments have prompted the investigation of early loading methods, which aim to minimize treatment time while maintaining success rates.
Interventions
Early Loading at 4 weeks, a screw-retained definitive restoration was delivered using standard prosthetic procedures.
OTHERDelayed loading
Conventional Delayed Loading at 24 weeks, the definitive restoration was delivered using standard prosthetic procedures.
