Objective:
Clinical cases of immediate loaded implants were retrospectively analyzed, in the aim of evaluating the clinical value of immediate loading.
Methods:
From July 2005 to October 2009, 99 immediate loaded implants were implanted in 29 patients. The overall data including radiography, clinical examination were collected during the follow-up periods ranged from 4 to 46 months. The implants were evaluated with the survival rate, bone resorption, soft tissue esthetics (including gingiva papilla index and pink esthetic score).
Results:
Survival rate for immediate loaded implant was 97.0%. The average bone resorption were 0.22 mm at 4-6 months after surgery, bone increase of 0.15 mm were found at 6-12 month, and bone increase up to 0.16 mm at 12-46 months. The gingival papilla index was 2.68, while pink esthetic score was 12.58.
Conclusion:
Immediate loaded implant is an effective repairing method for patients missing teeth and the esthetics effect is ideal.
