Objectives:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate implant stability after short-term immediate loading in a canine model.
Study Design:
The control group used in this study was immediate nonfunctional loading and the experimental group was immediate functional loading. Each group was measured for its periotest value (PTV) and bone-to-implant contact (BIC) ratio.
Results:
Statistically significant differences in PTV and BIC ratio were not observed between the control and the experimental groups.
Conclusion:
It was concluded that implant stability can be achieved even with immediate loading.
