Abstract:
Histologic evaluation of a single immediately loaded titanium provisional implant that was in function for 18 months revealed 81.3% bone-to-implant contact of the surface evaluated, whereas 9.6% of the implant surface evaluated was opposed by marrow and 9.1% by connective tissue. The bone appeared to be in active remodeling stage and in close contact with the implant surface.
