[Long-term experience of immediate implant loading using DenTi implants. Part 1. Material, methods and experience in immediate loading of DenTi implants].

Immediate loading of dental implants have been widely used to retain and support crossarch partial dentures. Normally 3-6 months after implantation complete osseointegration is established, this period may be shortened with immediate loading of implants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factors that may influence the long-term success of immediate implant loading. The immediate loading technique with DenTi implants was introduced 12 years ago, and during this period the clinical results have been followed up on 257 DenTi implants in 83 patients. 62 patients and with 263 implants placed with submerged technique were recruited into the control group. The retrospective long-term follow-up examination has revealed that the success rate of DenTi implants with traditional two stage surgery was 97.4%. The success rate of DenTi implants with immediate loading was 95.71%. According to the date of the success rata and prognosis of immediate loaded implants are comparable to the traditional two stage submerged implants.
