Abstract:
The comparison of the effects of immediate and delayed implant loading protocols on marginal bone loss and prosthetic success over a 12-month period is highly relevant. Therefore, it is of interest to compare the effects of immediate and delayed implant loading protocols on marginal bone loss and prosthetic success over 12 months. Hence, a total of 100 participants were randomly assigned to either the immediate or delayed loading group. Results showed that the delayed loading group experienced significantly less marginal bone loss and better bone preservation. Implant survival and prosthetic success rates were high in both groups, with no significant differences observed. Thus, we show that while immediate loading provides aesthetic advantages, delayed loading may offer better long-term bone preservation.
