Immediate loading of 2 interforaminal dental implants supporting an overdenture: clinical and radiographic results after 24 months.
PURPOSE In this study , preliminary results of immediate loading of ITI s and blasted , large-grit , acid-etched ( SLA ) implants with a bar-connected overdenture in the edentulous m and ible are presented . MATERIAL S AND METHODS Ten edentulous patients between 48 and 74 years old were included in this study . All patients received 2 SLA-surfaced ITI solid-screw dental implants in the interforaminal region , which were loaded with a bar connector and an overdenture 1 day after implant placement . Marginal bone resorption was evaluated using periapical radiographs . Gingival health ( ie , Bleeding Index ) and patient satisfaction ( measured using a visual analog scale ) were evaluated . Follow-up time was 24 to 36 months ( mean time 29.8 months ) after implant loading . RESULTS Twenty-four months after placement , none of the 20 implants had failed . Marginal bone resorption around all implants after 12 months averaged 0.71 mm , and 92 % of the sites had a Bleeding Index of 0 . Between 12 and 24 months , average bone resorption was an additional 0.08 mm . All patients demonstrated an improved quality of life . DISCUSSION The amount of bone resorption was comparable to amounts reported in studies with st and ard loading times . The low rate of inflammation of the peri-implant soft tissue and the high level of patient satisfaction in this study demonstrate encouraging short-term results . CONCLUSION The results suggest that immediate loading of 2 dental implants can be successful and further support the use of a rough implant surface in residual bone
