Immediate and early loading of Straumann implants with a chemically modified surface (SLActive) in the posterior mandible and maxilla: 1‐year results from a prospective multicenter study

Abstract

The results demonstrated that Straumann implants with the SLActive surface are safe and predictable when used in immediate and early loading procedures. Even in poor-quality bone, survival rates were comparable with those from conventional or delayed loading. The mean bone-level change was not deemed to be clinically significant and compared well with the typical bone resorption observed in conventional implant loading.
