Immediate nonocclusal versus early loading of dental implants in partially edentulous patients: 1-year results from a multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial.

Abstract

The results of this randomized controlled clinical trial with 25 patients rehabilitated with immediately restored nonocclusally loaded implant-supported prostheses compared to 27 patients restored 2 months following placement suggest that there are no major clinical differences in implant survival between these 2 protocols. No biologic or prosthetic complications occurred.
