Patient-reported outcome measures and prosthetic events in implant-supported mandibular overdenture patients after immediate versus delayed loading: A systematic review and meta-analysis. J Prosthet Dent 2024; 131:833-840. [PMID: 35501187 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2022.03.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2021] [Revised: 03/14/2022] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Immediately loaded mandibular overdentures are clinically acceptable treatment options that have gained popularity because their use shortens the treatment duration. However, whether the immediate loading of dental implants can match the prosthetic events, satisfaction, and quality of life of delayed loading is still unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the prosthetic events, satisfaction, and quality of life of immediate versus delayed loading implants in patients rehabilitated with mandibular overdentures. MATERIAL AND METHODS This review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement and was registered at The International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) (CRD42021258187). Electronic searches were carried out by 2 independent reviewers in the PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases up to May 2021. Only randomized clinical trials and prospective studies with at least 10 participants that compared immediate versus delayed loading were selected. A meta-analysis was performed by using the RevMan 5 software program for complications and maintenance outcomes. RESULTS Seven articles were included in the qualitative analysis, and 4 were included in the quantitative analysis. The meta-analysis demonstrated no significant difference between immediate and delayed loading for prosthetic complications (RR=1.71; 95% CI=0.67-4.37; I2=85%, P=.27) or maintenance (RR=1.92, 95% CI=0.44-8.28; I2=94%, P=.38). CONCLUSIONS Although the prosthetic complications and maintenance were more likely to favor the delayed loading group, available evidence showed no statistical difference for prosthetic complications and maintenance between immediate loading and delayed loading in mandibular overdentures.

Head Face Med 2024; 20:24. [PMID: 38627712 PMCID: PMC11022491 DOI: 10.1186/s13005-024-00426-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES A randomized controlled clinical trial of dental implants was conducted to compare the clinical properties of a novel electrochemically deposited calcium phosphate coating to those of a common marketed surface treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty implants of the same brand and type were placed in 20 fully edentulous participants requiring mandibular implantation. The two study groups were defined by the surface treatment of the implants. 20 implants in the control group were coated via a commercial electrochemical surface treatment that forms a mixture of brushite and hydroxyapatite, while the remaining 20 in the test group were coated with a novel electrochemical Smart Bioactive Trabecular Coating (SBTC®). A split-mouth design was employed, with each participants receiving one control implant in one mandibular side and a test implant in the other. To mitigate potential operator-handedness bias, control and test implants were randomly assigned to mandibular sides. All cases underwent digital planning, implant placement with a static surgical guide, and participants received locator-anchored full-arch dentures. The primary outcome was implant stability (measured using Osstell ISQ) assessed at insertion, loading, and then 3 months, 9 months, and 2 years post-insertion. The secondary outcome was bone level change (in millimeters) over the 2-year observation period. Oral health-related quality of life (OHRQL) was monitored using the OHIP-14 questionnaire. Complications and adverse events were recorded. RESULTS Successful osseointegration and implant stability were achieved in all cases, allowing loading. ISQ values steadily increased throughout the observation period. While no significant differences were observed between the SBTC® and control coatings, the test group exhibited a higher ISQ gain. Bone resorption was somewhat lower in the SBTC® but not significantly so. Patients' OHRQL significantly improved after denture delivery and remained stable throughout the follow-up. No complications or adverse events were observed. CONCLUSIONS Based on the study results, we conclude that the new surface treatment is a safe alternative to the widely used control surface, demonstrating similar osseointegrative properties and time-dependent bone level changes. Further research may explore the broader implications of these findings. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study is registered on clinicaltrials.gov under the identifier ID: NCT06034171.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study aims to evaluate the digitally designed ball attachment housing in its initial retentive force and after 2 years of simulated clinical use and to compare it with the regular nylon ball attachment housing. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty implants with their corresponding ball abutments (diameter 4.5 × 4.0 mm) were inserted in resin blocks. They were divided into two groups. In Group I, ten ball abutments each received their corresponding conventional attachment with nylon rings. In Group II, ten ball abutments received the novel CAD-CAM polyetheretherketone ball attachment housing. A universal testing machine was used to measure the retention force. The achieved maximum values of retention force were recorded at the beginning of the study (initial retention) and after 2 years of artificial ageing (2000 cycles of insertion and removal). Results were statistically analyzed using an independent sample T test. RESULTS The PEEK attachment housing showed high retention forces (25.12 ± 0.99 N) compared to the conventional attachment with a nylon ring (15.76 ± 0.93 N) in the initial dislodgement test. There was a statistically significant difference in mean retention at the initial retention test and after 2 years of stimulated usage between the two studied groups, p = 0.000. CONCLUSIONS Within the limitations of this study, the novel CAD-CAM-PEEK attachment showed high retention characteristics compared to the conventional attachment with nylon rings, initially and after simulated long-term use.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate the long-term survival, incidence of prosthetic/technical and biological complications and the oral-health-related quality of life in patients with an edentulous mandible who were fitted with overdentures on two immediately loaded implants in the symphyseal area. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-six patients with edentulous mandibles received two immediately loaded implant-retained dentures with either two Locator attachments or egg-shaped bar attachments. Implant outcomes were recorded after a period of observation of 9 years and included prosthetic complications, modified gingiva index (mGI), modified plaque index (mPI), oral health impact profile (OHIP-G) and radiographic estimation of bone loss. RESULTS In 2020/2021, 27 patients with 54 implants were still available for follow-up. In total, nine implants in six patients were lost. Survival was 89.1% in the bar group and 91.3% in the Locator group. Implant success was 84.6% in the Locator group and 76.9% in the bar group. The mPI values were significantly higher in the bar group than in the Locator group, whereas no difference was seen in the mGI values. During the observation period, 152 prosthetic complications occurred, but the OHIP-G score did not differ significantly. CONCLUSIONS There was no difference in implant survival between Locator or joint bar attachments over a 9-year observation period. Joint bar attachments were associated with slightly more complications, while patients in the Locator group were able to maintain better oral hygiene. The study was registered in the German Register of Clinical (Trials DRKS00004245).

Abstract
OBJECTIVES There is a scarcity of randomized clinical trials (RCT) that report medium- and long-term results and a lack of consensus in the literature on the predictability of immediately loaded unsplinted narrow diameter implants supporting mandibular overdentures. This RCT compared the performance of conventional (CL) and immediate loading (IL) of mandibular overdentures retained by two narrow-diameter implants for 3 years. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients from an RCT treated with CL or IL were invited to attend to 2- and 3-year follow-ups. Clinical, radiographic, functional, and oral health-related quality of life parameters were evaluated. Prosthetic maintenance events, biological complications, and success and survival rates were also recorded. The data were tested by multilevel mixed-effects linear regression analysis and chi-squared tests. RESULTS The 1-year survival rates of 90% in the CL group and 85% in the IL group were maintained as no implants were lost between 1 and 3 years. The marginal bone loss (MBL) in the IL group was significantly lower after year 3 (-0.04; p < 0.01). Significant changes were found only for the intra-group comparisons in the third year of function: (i) CL and IL presented similar progression of implant stability, MBL, and posterior bone area resorption; (ii) while CL started deteriorating of masticatory function, IL still exhibited functional evolution and (iii) oral comfort domain in the CL and pain domain in the IL were improved. CONCLUSION Although IL experienced the lowest MBL after 3 years, the outcomes showed that both loading protocols result in predictable medium-term rehabilitation when monitored annually. CLINICAL RELEVANCE It can be expected that in the third year of function, patients with immediate loading may present more complaints related to general performance even with acceptable masticatory function and self-reported improvements in oral comfort.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The 2-implant mandibular overdenture (2IMO) is a popular treatment for patients with an edentulous mandible, but information on the effect of the optimum implant position on the peri-implant crestal bone level with immediate loading protocols is lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this prospective clinical study was to evaluate correlations between different implant positions and crestal bone loss and between interimplant distance and the crestal bone loss in patients with 2IMOs with immediate loading protocols at 1-year follow-up. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 24 participants (13 men, 11 women, mean ±standard deviation age 63.25 ±10.76 years) were treated with 2IMOs (48 Ti-Zr implants) by a single operator between August 2015 and October 2020. The implant diameters (3.3 mm or 4.1 mm) and lengths (10 mm or 12 mm) were selected based on the crestal bone width, and the implants were placed, if possible, in the canine regions. Implant positions and interimplant distance (mm) were measured intraorally with dividers. Prefabricated mandibular dentures were immediately loaded with the LOCATOR-attachments by using a direct intraoral pickup procedure. Crestal bone-level changes were measured with a software program on the mesial and distal sides of each implant from periapical radiographs made with a paralleling technique (at baseline and 1-year follow-up). The measurement values were normalized. The Spearman rho correlation test and paired samples t tests were used for data analysis (α=.05). RESULTS The mean ±standard deviation position of the implants from the midline was 8.78 ±2.25 mm (9.00 ±2.22 mm right side, 8.56 ±2.31 mm left side), and the mean interimplant distance was 16.94 ±4.03 mm. At 1-year follow-up, the mean ±standard deviation crestal bone loss was 0.50 ±0.47 mm (n=48) (0.57 ±0.65 mm mesial, 0.43 ±0.53 mm distal). The mean ±standard deviation crestal bone loss was 0.46 ±0.4 mm with Ø3.3-mm implants (n=42) and 0.9 ±0.8 mm with Ø4.1-mm implants (n=6) (P=.005). Implant positions were negatively correlated (rs=-0.37) with the crestal bone loss, and the correlation was significant (P=.009). Interimplant distances were also negatively correlated with crestal bone loss (rs=-0.60; P=.002). Bone loss on the mesial side was positively correlated with that on the distal side rs=0.20; however, the correlation was not significant (P=.16). CONCLUSIONS A weak and negative correlation was found between the implant position from the midline and the crestal bone loss and also between the interimplant distance and crestal bone loss in patients provided with 2IMOs with immediate loading protocols.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This cohort study investigated clinical, functional, and quality of life outcomes, along with prosthetic maintenance events in mandibular overdenture (MO) wearers for 3 years. METHODS Thirty MO wearers with narrow diameter implants (NDIs) and locking taper stud abutments (Facility-Equator system) were annually monitored by registering the visible plaque index (VPI), peri‑implant inflammation (PI), calculus presence (CP), probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing (BOP), secondary implant stability (ISQ), marginal bone loss (MBL), masticatory performance and dental impact in daily life (DIDL) questionnaire domains. Multilevel mixed-effects linear regression was performed to analyse changes over time. Chi-square tests were performed to analyse the relationship between the appearance of prosthetic complications and maintenance occurrences. The survival rate of patients with NDIs was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier test. RESULTS Twenty-six individuals attended all follow-ups, the survival rate of 83.3% in the first year was maintained, and no one implant was lost over the 3-year period. There were significant differences for PD between 1 and 3 years (p ≤ 0.01) and between 2 and 3 years for PI (p ≤ 0.01), GI (p ≤ 0.01), ISQ (p = 0.02), and MBL (p ≤ 0.01). All masticatory performance outcomes showed significant differences (p ≤.01). Prosthetic maintenance events decreased significantly over time. Appearance, general performance, and eating and chewing domains presented high effect sizes. CONCLUSION Continued changes were observed in the clinical parameters of MO users over the 3-year period. In addition, most functional parameters, except for particle homogenization, improved significantly over time. The positive impact on quality of life is likely related to the significant reduction in prosthetic maintenance events. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Periodic returns to assess peri‑implant tissues and MO maintenance should be performed to ensure the success of rehabilitation to assure improvements in masticatory function and oral health-related quality of life.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To test the null hypothesis that vertical peri-implant bone level alterations (ΔIBL) are equivalent in immediately (IL) and 3-month post-placement (DL) loaded implants in mandibular implant overdentures (IODs) on two implants. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-two patients receiving two interforaminal implants, one with a platform-switched and one with a platform-matching abutment were randomly assigned to the IL or DL group (allocation ratio 1:1). All implants were primarily splinted with chairside-customized bars, converting the existing removable complete dentures to IODs. Standardized radiographs were recorded. The influence of the loading protocol (IL vs. DL), implant platform (platform switched vs. platform matching), implant site (43 vs. 33), participant age (≤65 vs. >65 years), and definition of baseline (implant placement vs. implant loading) were analyzed, applying linear regression analyses (α = 0.05). The equivalence range was [-0.4; 0.4]. RESULTS Three participants of the IL group were lost during follow-up. The overall mean ΔIBL was -0.96 ± 0.89 mm. The ΔIBL was equivalent in terms of the implant platform and implant site but not in terms of participant age (in favor of more elderly participants) and the loading protocol. A significantly smaller ΔIBL was observed in the IL when the baseline was considered to be implant placement (p = .017), but not when it was considered to be implant loading (p = .084). CONCLUSION Immediate loading of primary-splinted implants in two-implant bar-retained overdentures, seems beneficial relative to loading 3 months post-placement, with respect to ΔIBL. The ΔIBL were equivalent in terms of platform switching.

Abstract
The recent literature on maxillary implant overdenture (IOD) was reviewed in order to clarify its predictability and establish treatment guidelines. Electronic searches were performed using PubMed, and articles about maxillary IOD written after 1990 were reviewed, focusing on the following items: I. implant survival rate, II. maxillary IOD survival rate, III. number of implants, IV. attachment type, V. follow-up period, VI. implant system, and VII. opposing dentition. The review revealed an implant survival rate of 61-100% and an overdenture survival rate of 72.4-100%. The attachments used included bars, balls, locators, and telescope crowns. The minimum and maximum observation periods were 12 months and 120 months, respectively, and the number of implants used for supporting IOD ranged from 2 to 8. At present, there is no strong evidence to indicate that maxillary IOD is clearly superior for all the items examined. However, the existing data indicate that maxillary IOD has almost the same therapeutic effect as fixed implant superstructures, and is a treatment option that can be actively adopted for patients in whom fixed superstructures cannot be applied for various reasons.

Effects of immediate and delayed loading protocols on marginal bone loss around implants in unsplinted mandibular implant-retained overdentures: a systematic review and meta-analysis. BMC Oral Health 2021; 21:122. [PMID: 33731092 PMCID: PMC7968211 DOI: 10.1186/s12903-021-01486-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2020] [Accepted: 03/04/2021] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Immediate loading has recently been introduced into unsplinted mandibular implant-retained overdentures for the management of edentulous patients due to their increasing demand on immediate aesthetics and function. However, there is still a scarcity of meta-analytical evidence on the efficacy of immediate loading compared to delayed loading in unsplinted mandibular implant-retained overdentures. The purpose of this study was to compare the marginal bone loss (MBL) around implants between immediate and delayed loading of unsplinted mandibular implant-retained overdentures. METHODS Randomized controlled trials (RCTs), controlled clinical trials (CCTs), and cohort studies quantitatively comparing the MBL around implants between immediate loading protocol (ILP) and delayed loading protocol (DLP) of unsplinted mandibular overdentures were included. A systematic search was carried out in PubMed, EMBASE, and CENTRAL databases on December 02, 2020. "Grey" literature was also searched. A meta-analysis was conducted to compare the pooled MBL of two different loading protocols of unsplinted mandibular overdentures through weighted mean differences (WMDs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). The subgroup analysis was performed between different attachment types (i.e. Locator attachment vs. ball anchor). The risk of bias within and across studies were assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration's tool, the Newcastle-Ottawa scale, and Egger's test. RESULTS Of 328 records, five RCTs and two cohort studies were included and evaluated, which totally contained 191 participants with 400 implants. The MBL of ILP group showed no significant difference with that of DLP group (WMD 0.04, CI - 0.13 to 0.21, P > .05). The subgroup analysis revealed similar results with Locator attachments or ball anchors (P > .05). Apart from one RCT (20%) with a high risk of bias, four RCTs (80%) showed a moderate risk of bias. Two prospective cohort studies were proved with acceptable quality. Seven included studies have reported 5.03% implant failure rate (10 of 199 implants) in ILP group and 1.00% failure rate (2 of 201 implants) in DLP group in total. CONCLUSIONS For unsplinted mandibular implant-retained overdentures, the MBL around implants after ILP seems comparable to that of implants after DLP. Immediate loading may be a promising alternative to delayed loading for the management of unsplinted mandibular implant-retained overdentures. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42020159124.

Aldhohrah T, Mashrah MA, Wang Y. Effect of 2-implant mandibular overdenture with different attachments and loading protocols on peri-implant health and prosthetic complications: A systematic review and network meta-analysis. J Prosthet Dent 2021; 127:832-844. [PMID: 33546861 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2020.12.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2020] [Revised: 12/17/2020] [Accepted: 12/17/2020] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM A systematic review of the effect of different overdenture attachments with different loading protocols on peri-implant health is lacking. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review and network meta-analysis was to evaluate the effect of different overdenture attachments with delayed or immediately loaded 2-implant-retained mandibular overdentures on peri-implant tissue health. MATERIAL AND METHODS A comprehensive search of the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane library was conducted to identify eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The outcomes were marginal bone loss, probing depth, plaque index, bleeding on probing, implant survival rate, and prosthetic complications. The Bayesian network meta-analysis accompanied by a random effect model and 95% credible intervals was calculated. RESULTS Sixteen RCT (n=599 participants receiving 1198 dental implants) were included. Five common overdenture attachment systems with delayed or immediate loading were compared. The difference in marginal bone loss and probing depth was not statistically significant when comparing different overdenture attachments with different loading protocols. The rank probability test showed that bar+ immediate loading ranked highest (63.8%) in terms of marginal bone loss, whereas ball+ delayed loading (73.3%) ranked highest in terms of probing depth. The implant survival rate was 100% for the LOCATOR+ delayed loading, resilient telescopic+ delayed loading, and magnet+ immediate loading; however, bar+ delayed loading, ball+ delayed loading, magnet+ delayed loading, LOCATOR+ immediate loading, ball+ immediate loading, and bar+ immediate loading had survival rates of 99.1%, 98.8%, 96.0%, 94.7%, 93.1%, and 91.2%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS All types of overdenture attachment with immediate loading or delayed loading had a similar effect on peri-implant health. Bar+ immediate loading was associated with the least marginal bone loss, whereas ball+ delayed loading showed the least probing depth.

Clinical Versatility of the Facility-Equator Implant System as Mandibular Overdenture Retainers. Case Rep Dent 2020; 2020:8823547. [PMID: 33312740 PMCID: PMC7719493 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8823547] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2020] [Revised: 11/09/2020] [Accepted: 11/11/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
The use of mandibular overdentures (MO) for the rehabilitation of totally edentulous individuals with limited bone availability is widespread and has proven clinical success. Narrow diameter implants (NDI) are available on the market as MO retainers to solve problems related to limited bone availability and bone thickness, providing a low-cost, minimally invasive treatment option. This technique evolved over the years, and changes frequently involved the number of implants used as MO retainers, as the adoption of a smaller number of implants can generate biomechanical disadvantages, contributing to the increased stress in peri-implant tissues, which may accelerate marginal bone loss (MBL), in addition to reducing masticatory capacity and satisfaction with rehabilitation. Some studies pointed out that the use of 3 or more implants as MO retainers improves the biomechanics. Thus, the objective of this study was to report 3 different clinical cases where 3 or more NDI were adopted to retain mandibular overdentures in association with diverse loading protocols: (i) 3 implants adopting conventional loading, (ii) 4 implants using progressive loading, and (iii) 4 implants with hybrid loading. The case with 4 implants and progressive loading showed a slight worsening of masticatory function at 1 year, in addition to a more pronounced MBL compared to other cases, but with improvements in satisfaction and oral health-related quality of life. Thus, NDI can be used as MO retainers with predictability and clinical success, using different numbers of implants and loading protocols.

Abstract
Clinicians treating overdenture patients need to know if immediate loading and conventional loading results in similar outcomes. This study aimed to perform a systematic literature search of studies comparing immediate and conventional loading of mandibular overdentures irrespective of the number of implants and conduct a meta-analysis of implant failure and marginal bone loss (MBL). A literature search of PubMed, ScienceDirect, Ovoid, Springer, and Google Scholar databases was performed for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing immediate vs conventional loading of mandibular overdentures. The primary outcome was implant failure and the secondary outcome was marginal bine loss (MBL). A descriptive analysis was performed for other outcomes. Thirteen trials were included. Only one trial compared the immediate and delayed loading of single implant-supported overdenture. Seven trials used two implants, one trial used three implants while four trials used four implants. Meta-analysis indicated no statistically significant difference in implant failure and MBL between immediate and conventional loading of two-implant and four-implant supported overdentures. Descriptive analysis indicated no difference in peri-implant tissue indices, implant stability, and quality of life outcomes between the two loading protocols.There may be no difference in implant failure and MBL with immediate loading or conventional loading of two and four-implant supported mandibular overdentures. Literature review indicates that there may be no difference in peri-implant tissue indices, implant stability, and QoL outcomes between the two loading protocols. The overall quality of evidence is moderate. Further, adequately powered RCTs are required to strengthen the evidence.

Immediate or delayed loading protocols for two-implant mandibular overdentures: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. J Prosthet Dent 2020; 126:742-748. [PMID: 33139056 DOI: 10.1016/j.prosdent.2020.09.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/02/2020] [Revised: 09/29/2020] [Accepted: 09/29/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM The immediate loading protocol for 2-implant mandibular overdentures has been widely reported. Nevertheless, the clinical effects reported in different articles are quite different. PURPOSE The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was to compare the clinical effects of immediate and delayed loading of 2-implant mandibular overdentures. MATERIAL AND METHODS The review followed the guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, Scopus, ScienceDirect, CBM, CNKI, and Wan Fang databases were searched electronically for RCTs published before March 25, 2020. Two authors independently conducted literature screening, quality assessment, and data extraction. The outcomes of interest were implant failure rate, marginal bone loss (MBL), implant stability quotient (ISQ), periotest value (PTV), and patient satisfaction. RESULTS A total of 2498 unduplicated records were identified. After full-text analysis, 7 eligible RCTs were included. All studies were followed for at least 12 months, and the meta-analysis was based on this. The meta-analysis showed that the implant failure rate in the immediate group was higher than that in the delayed group, but there was no statistically significant difference (I2=0%; n=7; risk difference [RD]=0.03; 95% confidence interval [CI]=-0.01 to 0.08). The difference of MBL between immediate and delayed loading was not significant (I2=88%; n=6; mean difference [MD]=-0.04; 95% CI=-0.16 to 0.24). Because of the limited articles reporting on ISQ, PTV, and patient satisfaction, no quantitative analysis was conducted for these outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Although the implant failure rate was more likely to favor the delayed group, available evidence indicates no statistical difference in implant failure and marginal bone loss between immediate and delayed loading protocols.
