Abstract
ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to evaluate implant stability after short-term immediate loading in a canine model.Study designThe control group used in this study was immediate nonfunctional loading and the experimental group was immediate functional loading. Each group was measured for its periotest value (PTV) and bone-to-implant contact (BIC) ratio.ResultsStatistically significant differences in PTV and BIC ratio were not observed between the control and the experimental groups.ConclusionIt was concluded that implant stability can be achieved even with immediate loading.
