Resonance Frequency Analysis of Dental Implants With 2 Types of Surface Treatment Submitted to Immediate Loading: A Prospective Clinical Study.
Implant Dent
June 2018
Background: Characteristics of the implant surface may benefit osseointegration, and the knowledge of this process in diverse clinical situations may play a role in implant dentistry practice.
Purpose: The aim of the present study was to compare the stability of dental implants with different types of surface treatment.
Materials And Methods: Fifty-five implants were placed in the mandibles of 11 fully edentulous patients.
Bone behavior in atrophic edentulous mandibles after rehabilitation with immediate loaded implant: a short-term radiographic and tomographic study.

October 2014
Purpose: To evaluate bone response in the posterior area of edentulous mandibles rehabilitated with fixed prosthesis supported on dental implants considering baseline severity of mandibular atrophy.
Material And Methods: The sample included 15 patients in whom 5 implants were inserted between the mental foramens. The prosthesis followed a cantilever extension from 15 to 20 mm.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the primary and secondary stability of immediately loaded mandibular implants restored with fixed prostheses using either rigid or semi-rigid splinting systems.
- Fifteen edentulous patients participated, with implants placed in two different groups: one using a conventional rigid bar and the other a semi-rigid cantilever extension system.
- Results showed a 100% implant survival rate in both groups, with no significant differences in stability measurements over the 8-month follow-up, indicating that both splinting methods were effective for restoration.
