Abstract
The study had been performed on five patients having bilateral mandibular free-end saddle, so that each patient served as a double case, where the same patient had on side an immediately/early-loaded implant-supported fixed restoration, and on the other side a delayed-loaded implant-supported prosthesis.
Patients were selected from the Outpatients clinic, of Oral Surgery Department of the Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University. Patients fell under the age group 20-45 years old.
The patients’ cases were divided into two equal groups:
Group A
In all patients, endosseous implant was placed as last abutment on one side of mandible and restored with fixed bridge by the immediate and early loading methods.
Group B
In all patients, endosseous implant was placed as last abutment on the other side of mandible and restored with fixed bridge by the immediate and early loading method.
Osseointegration was determined by clinical stability, lack of symptoms, and lack of peri-implant pathology based on radiographic examination.
The study was designed to focus on the immediate/early loading of implant-supported prosthesis in partially edentulous mandible versus delayed loading.
