Abstract
One of the conditions for ensuring success in implant surgery with an immediate loading (IL) protocol is to achieve maximum primary stability (PS) through the use of dental implants with the appropriate design and surface and a properly prepared osseous bed. The aim of this study was to assess the stability, degree of osseointegration, and success rate after inserting an implant with IL in an osseous bed prepared with burs or an ultrasonic device. Twenty-five patients requiring single tooth replacement (tioLogic; Dentaurum, Ispringen, Germany) in the aesthetic zone were divided randomly into the test (K0) and control (K1) groups. The following factors were investigated: primary (PS-ISQ) and secondary (SS-ISQ) stability- implant stability quotient (ISQ value) by Ostell Mentor, initial width of the alveolar ridge, marginal bone loss (MBL), and buccal bone thickness. The effectiveness of the implant treatment 1 year after the surgery was 100% for group K0 and 93.3% for group K1. A significant correlation was observed between PS and MBL after 1 month. No statistically significant differences were noted between the groups with regard to MBL after 6 months (K0 0.5±0.4 mm vs. K1 0.8±1.3 mm), PS-ISQ (K0 70±4 vs. K1 71±4), and SS-ISQ (K0 70±2 vs. K1 72±3). The average ISQ value of 70±4 is sufficient to allow for IL. A high level of PS results in lower MBL.
