Immediate or early loading of dental implants shows comparable success rates to conventional loading. Primary implant stability is crucial for successful immediate/early loading, but more research is needed.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Biomaterials Science
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • Conventional dental implant protocols involve a non-loaded healing period to ensure osseointegration.
  • Removable temporary prostheses during healing can be uncomfortable for patients.
  • Shortening the healing period without compromising implant success is desirable.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the clinical performance of osseointegrated dental implants loaded at different times.
  • To evaluate success rates between immediately, early, and conventionally loaded implants.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted.
  • Searches included major databases (Cochrane, MEDLINE, EMBASE) and handsearching of journals.

  • Included RCTs compared immediate (≤1 week), early (1 week–2 months), and conventional (>2 months) loading of root-form implants with follow-up of 6 months to 1 year.

    • Main Results:

    • Eleven RCTs involving 300 patients were included in the analysis.
    • No statistically significant differences in prosthesis or implant failures, or marginal bone levels were found between immediate, early, and conventional loading groups on a per-patient basis.
    • The study analyzed comparisons of immediate vs. conventional, early vs. conventional, and immediate vs. early loading.

    Conclusions:

    • Immediate or early loading of dental implants is a viable option for selected patients.
    • High primary implant stability, indicated by insertion torque, appears essential for successful immediate/early loading.
    • Further well-designed RCTs are recommended, particularly comparing immediate versus early loading to enhance patient satisfaction and reduce treatment duration.
