Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Implant Stability
Implant stability will be evaluated using Osstell device based on resonance frequency analysis (ISQ values).
-Immediately after impant placement -immediately after loading -3 months after loading - 6 months after loading
Hard Tissue (peri-implant bone)
Marginal bone loss will be assessed using CBCT measured in mm.
- Immediately Postoperative (baseline) - 3 months after loading. - 6 months after loading.
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Soft Tissue
At 6 months after loading.
Peri-implant probing depth
At 6 months after loading.
Study Arms (3)
Study Group 1
EXPERIMENTALIt included 20 patients who received UV treated dental implants placed in maxillary posterior region which were immediately loaded within 3 days of implant placement.
Study Group 2
EXPERIMENTALIt included 20 patients who received UV-treated dental implants in the maxillary posterior region, with early loading performed 4 weeks after implant placement.
Study Group 3
EXPERIMENTALIt included 20 patients who received UV treated dental implants placed in maxillary posterior region which were conventionally loaded after 3 months
Interventions
Immediate loading of UV-photofunctionalized dental implants placed in the posterior maxilla.
Early loading of UV-photofunctionalized dental implants placed in the posterior maxilla.
Conventional loading of UV-photofunctionalized dental implants placed in the posterior maxilla
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients with missed single tooth or multiple teeth in posterior maxilla
- Patients Free from any para-functional habits.
- Patient with Adequate inter-arch relation and inter-occlusal space to accommodate the prosthetic restoration.
- Patient with good oral hygiene.
- Patients Willing to participate in the study's follow-up intervals.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with any local or systemic disease that absolutely contraindicate implant placement or surgery.
- Pregnancy.
- Patients with any pathological lesion or aggressive periodontal disease at the planned surgical site.
- Patients on drugs that could affect bone healing process such as bisphosphonate.
- Smokers.
- Uncooperative patients.
