Evaluation of Primary Stability in Immediate Loading of Dental Implants. Issue 1 (December 2020) - Singh, Gaurav
Study Design: With the patient's desire to shorten the treatment time and to avoid an edentulous condition, immediate loading of implants has emerged as an alternative approach as compared to delayed loading implants for replacing missing natural teeth. The aim of this study is to evaluate the primary stability in immediate loading of dental implants. Objective: To evaluate primary stability and postoperative complications clinically and radiographically. Method: Total 50 patients were treated with immediate loading dental implants. Withdrawal criteria includes patients not returning for checkup, follow-up, or documentation, and patients not following postoperative instruction. Result: Primary stability increases in immediate loading protocol; mean stability was 57 which was adequate at the time of surgery and during healing period. Conclusion: Our study concludes that under appropriate circumstances, medical condition and maintenance of good oral hygiene provide better primary stability in immediate loading protocol.
