Immediate Loading-A Histological Study in Humans
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating immediate loading and non implant loading for Edentulous Alveolar Ridge. Completed, enrolled 12 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Twelve participants with edentulous alveolar crests in the distal portion of the arches will be included in the study. At least two implant sites will be identified in each patient and will be sub-prepared with drills or sonic instruments. One site will be used as a test and one as a control where experimental mini-implants will be installed. Reconstructive surgical procedures will be applied at the biopsy sites.

Timeline
Interventions
The participants will be assigned to immediate or delayed functional loading groups. In each participant, edentulous areas with adequate thickness of the alveolar bone crest will be identified and at least two sites will be identified for implant installation. All implant recipient sites will be sub-prepared to allow good stability of the implants. Experimental mini-implants (Sweden \& Martina, Due Carrare, Padova, Italy), 3.5 mm in diameter and with an intraosseous portion of 4 mm in length will be installed. Immediate loading group - A prosthetic component will be applied over the trial implants. Impressions will be taken and a crown / bridge will be provided to patients in one day.
Control implants will receive a healing screw and will remain unloaded
