COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF PERI-IMPLANT TISSUES AROUND EARLY LOADED VERSUS DELAYED LOADEDIMPLANTS

Aims and Objectives: This study compared and evaluated the peri-implant tissue alterations in single-piece implants that were loaded early versus delayed. To evaluate the differences in radiographic results and clinical characteristics between early and delayed loaded implants. Materials and Methods: Using radio visio graphs (RVGs), the current study aims to assess and compare the clinical and radiographic results of early loaded implants versus delayed loaded implants. Twenty sites in all, based on the kind of implant loading techniques, were randomly divided into two groups by flipping a coin, following the first screening and the patients who met the inclusion requirements. Ten sites with an early loading technique (GROUP 1) and ten sites with a delayed loading methodology (GROUP 2) were separated into two groups. In both groups, the Bioline single-piece implants were utilised. Results: The clinical parameters probing pocket depth, clinical attachment level, and width of the keratinized peri-implant mucosa were measured at baseline, 3 & 6 months. Changes in marginal bone loss were measured using RVG. To evaluate the alterations in marginal bone level, AUTO CAD was utilised. SPSS V.23 was employed for the purpose of data analysis. Using the Mann Whitney U test for intergroup comparison and Friedmans Two-way ANOVA for intragroup comparison, groups 1 and 2 were assessed on mesial and distal surfaces. Conclusion: Given the current studys constraints, the findings can be summed up as follows: early loaded implants performed better than delayed loaded implants in all clinical and radiographic measures from baseline to six months.
