Instantaneous dental implant loading technique by fixed dentures: A retrospective cohort study.

Background: In the context of dental prostheses, splinting multiple implants together may improve their stability. The approach may be especially favorable when performing immediate loading procedures, increasing the implant osseointegration rate, and reducing the risk of implant and prosthetic failure. The instantaneous loading technique (ILT) involves creating a metal framework to splint the implants by intraorally welding them pair-by-pair, using purposefully created abutments.

Intraorally welded wing abutments supporting full-arch prostheses: A retrospective clinical study.

Background: Delayed loading in the rehabilitation of edentulous patients with an implant-supported prosthesis implies a longer treatment time. It requires additional surgery to uncover the submerged implants, and this may increase patients' discomfort and morbidity.

Objectives: The immediate loading-based technique described in this article involves creating a metal framework by intraorally welding the implants pair by pair, using specific wing abutments.

Influence of abutment height and vertical mucosal thickness on early marginal bone loss around implants: A randomised clinical trial with an 18-month post-loading clinical and radiographic evaluation.

Purpose: To investigate the influence of vertical mucosal thickness on marginal bone loss around implants with short and long prosthetic abutments and the marginal bone loss progression rate up to 18 months after prosthetic loading.

Materials And Methods: Internal hex platform-switched implants were placed equicrestally using a two-stage protocol in the posterior mandible of two groups of patients with different vertical mucosal thickness, thin (≤ 2.0 mm) and thick (> 2.
