Early loading at 21 days of non-submerged titanium implants with a chemically modified sandblasted and acid-etched surface: 3-year results of a prospective study in the posterior mandible.
BACKGROUND This study evaluates 3-year success rates of  titanium screw-type implants with a chemically modified s and blasted and acid-etched surface ( mod SLA ) , which were functionally loaded after 3 weeks of healing . METHODS A total of 56 implants , inserted in the posterior m and ibles of 39 partially edentulous patients , underwent undisturbed healing for 3 weeks . At day 21 , the implants were fully loaded with provisional crowns . Definitive metal ceramic restorations were fabricated after 6 months of healing . Clinical measurements regarding soft tissue parameters and radiographs were obtained at different time points up to 36 months after implant placement . The soft tissue and radiographic parameters for the mod SLA implants after 3 years in function were compared to a historic control group of implants with an SLA surface using an early loading protocol after 6 weeks . RESULTS None of the implants failed to integrate . However , two implants were considered " spinners " at day 21 and were left unloaded for an extended period . Therefore , 96.4 % of the inserted implants were loaded according to the protocol tested . All 56 implants , including the " spinners , " showed favorable clinical and radiographic findings at the 3-year follow-up examination . All 56 implants were considered successfully integrated , result ing in a 3-year survival and success rate of 100 % . Dental implants with a mod SLA surface demonstrated statistically significant differences for probing depths and clinical attachment level values compared to the historic control group , with the mod SLA surface implants having overall lower probing depths and clinical attachment level scores . CONCLUSION This prospect i ve study using an early loading protocol demonstrates that titanium implants with the mod SLA surface can achieve and maintain successful tissue integration over a period of 3 years
