Brief summary

This randomized clinical trial evaluates different loading protocols for UV-photofunctionalized dental implants in the posterior maxilla. Clinical and radiographic outcomes will be assessed during follow

Detailed description

The study compares immediate, early, and conventional loading of UV-photofunctionalized dental implants placed in the posterior maxilla. Implant stability and peri-implant tissue changes will be evaluated clinically and radiographically

Inclusion criteria

* • Patients with missed single tooth or multiple teeth in posterior maxilla * Patients Free from any para-functional habits. * Patient with Adequate inter-arch relation and inter-occlusal space to accommodate the prosthetic restoration. * Patient with good oral hygiene. * Patients Willing to participate in the study's follow-up intervals.

Exclusion criteria

* • Patients with any local or systemic disease that absolutely contraindicate implant placement or surgery. * Pregnancy. * Patients with any pathological lesion or aggressive periodontal disease at the planned surgical site. * Patients on drugs that could affect bone healing process such as bisphosphonate. * Smokers. * Uncooperative patients.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Implant Stability-Immediately after impant placement -immediately after loading -3 months after loading - 6 months after loadingImplant stability will be evaluated using Osstell device based on resonance frequency analysis (ISQ values).
Hard Tissue (peri-implant bone)- Immediately Postoperative (baseline) - 3 months after loading. - 6 months after loading.Marginal bone loss will be assessed using CBCT measured in mm.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Soft TissueAt 6 months after loading.The peri-implant mucosa will be evaluated for signs of inflammation using the Modified Sulcus Bleeding Index (mSBI).
Peri-implant probing depthAt 6 months after loading.Probing depth will be assessed using a calibrated periodontal probe with light pressure and measured in mm.
