Immediate loading of freestanding implants using cortical satellite implants: 3-year results of an ongoing prospective study.

Background: It has previously been demonstrated that immediate full occlusal loading of freestanding anterior implants can be performed using cortical satellite implants, obtaining a success rate similar to conventional protocols. The aim of this report was to present the outcomes after 36 months after initial placement.

Methods: Twenty patients received 2 single-standing titanium screw implants, which were stabilized during healing time with cortical satellite implants.

Displacement of dental implants in trabecular bone under a static lateral load in fresh bovine bone.

Aim: The study aims to provide objective data for the displacement of titanium screw implants in trabecular bone specimens. One hundred Semados implants (Bego, Bremen, Germany) were inserted in bovine type IV bone specimens. All implants had a diameter of 3.
