Evaluation of clinical therapeutic efficiency of immediate loaded implant / 华西口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Clinical cases of immediate loaded implants were retrospectively analyzed, in the aim of evaluating the clinical value of immediate loading.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From July 2005 to October 2009, 99 immediate loaded implants were implanted in 29 patients. The overall data including radiography, clinical examination were collected during the follow-up periods ranged from 4 to 46 months. The implants were evaluated with the survival rate, bone resorption, soft tissue esthetics (including gingiva papilla index and pink esthetic score).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Survival rate for immediate loaded implant was 97.0%. The average bone resorption were 0.22 mm at 4-6 months after surgery, bone increase of 0.15 mm were found at 6-12 month, and bone increase up to 0.16 mm at 12-46 months. The gingival papilla index was 2.68, while pink esthetic score was 12.58.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Immediate loaded implant is an effective repairing method for patients missing teeth and the esthetics effect is ideal.</p>
