Clinical and radiographical evaluation of immediate loading of narrow diameter dental implants

Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the peri-implant tissue response and marginal bone levels of immediately loaded narrow diameter dental implants. In this study, 10 patients with single maxillary anterior edentulous space were included. Implants were placed and immediate provisional crown was given without any centric or eccentric contacts. After three months, a definitive restoration was placed. All the clinical and radiographical parameters were evaluated.
