Immediate vs. early loading of SLA implants in the posterior mandible: 5-year results of randomized controlled clinical trial.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare clinical results of immediate and early loading ( EL ) self-tapping implants placed in posterior m and ibles . MATERIAL AND METHODS Twelve patients with bilateral edentulous posterior m and ibular were r and omly assigned to treatment either with immediate ( test ) or early loaded implants ( control ) . Seventy-two self-tapping implants  with SLA surface ( Ø 4 , 1/4 , 8 mm ; length 8 and 10 mm ) were analyzed in this study . Test implants ( 36 ) were loaded on the day of surgery and control implants 6 weeks later . The measuring of implant stability quotient ( ISQ ) was performed on 0 , 6th , 12th , and 52nd week after implant insertion . The bone resorption , modified plaque , and bleeding index were notified at 1 and 5 years later . RESULTS After 5 years , survival in the both groups was 100 % . The mean value of primary implant stability was 76.92 ± 0.79 ISQ . In the first 6 weeks , ISQ values significantly increased in the test group ( 77.92 ± 1.16 vs. 79.61 ± 0.90 ) as well as in the control group ( 7.92 ± 1.05 vs. 77.55 ± 0.99 ) . A significant longitudinal increase in ISQ value was recorded in test and control group . The differences between immediate and early loaded implants were statistically insignificant ( P > 0.05 ) . At the 5 years , no statistically significant differences were found between immediate and early loaded implants with respect to mean crestal bone loss measurements ( 0.4 ± 0.24 vs. 0.8 ± 0.15 mm ) , mean bleeding index ( 0.22 ± 0.11 vs. 0.25 ± 0.11 ) , and mean plaque index ( 0.17 ± 0.15 vs. 0.19 ± 0.20 ) . CONCLUSION Based on these results , the self-tapping implants inserted in posterior m and ible can provide adequate primary stability value as the main factor for immediate and EL protocol
