Background: There is a lack of long-term evaluations of immediately loaded implants in patients with compromised maxillary bone.

Purpose: To evaluate long-term survival and success of immediately loaded implants in subjects with poor maxillary bone quality and volume.

Material And Methods: Follow-up was performed on subjects who received six implants loaded within 24 hours with screw-retained fixed prostheses.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to retrospectively compare long-term outcomes for immediately loaded tilted and axial implants placed in the posterior region of the edentulous maxillary arch.

Materials And Methods: Data obtained from a 5-year prospective study designed to assess clinical outcomes following immediate loading of implants with screw-retained fixed restorations in the edentulous maxillary arch were retrospectively reviewed. Where insufficient alveolar bone was available for axial placement of the posterior-most implant on each side of the arch, tilted placement was employed.

Background: To evaluate oral health related quality of life (OHQoL) in edentulous patients treated with immediately loaded implants in the maxilla.

Methods: Fifty-one edentulous patients in two centers received six maxillary implants each were loaded within 24 h with provisional restoration. Definitive restoration was delivered 20-24 weeks later.

Purpose: Successful immediate loading of implants in the edentulous maxilla has been previously reported. The purpose of this 5-year prospective study was to further assess long-term outcomes following immediate loading of implants in the edentulous maxilla with fixed provisional restorations without the use of bone augmentation procedures.

Materials And Methods: Subjects with edentulous maxillary arches each received six implants placed in native bone without augmentation.

Purpose: Immediate loading of implants in the edentulous maxilla has previously been successfully performed and reported. Severe resorption of the maxillary alveolar crest presents a more demanding situation for the restorative team. Thus, it would be valuable to assess outcomes for this immediate loading treatment protocol in subjects with marked maxillary alveolar crest atrophy.
