Abstract

Objectives: The aim of this study will be to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of two early loading protocols of dental implant. Methods:Fourteen female patients were included in this study for replacement of a single missed maxillary tooth in the esthetic zone by dental implant. Patients were randomized into two groups which each one comprised 7 patients. In group (A), implants were early loaded at 3 weeks after implant insertion, while in group (B), implants were early loaded at 8 weeks after implant insertion. All patients were evaluated clinically and radiographically at implant placement time, loading time and 6 months after loading regarding implant stability by resonance frequency analysis (RFA), peri-implant pocket depth (PPD), modified sulcus bleeding Index (mSBI) and marginal bone loss (MBL). Results:During follow up period, only one implant in group (A) showed clinical mobility just before loading time and all patients showed favorable clinical and radiographic finding.There were no significant differences between the two groups for any of the parameters evaluated. Conclusion:  It was recommended that further reduction of the healing period from 8 weeks to 3 weeks did not appear to jeopardize the final outcome and also decreased the overall treatment period for the benefit of the patients at the same time.
