Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this prospective randomized clinical study was to compare implant survival, patient satisfaction, and radiographic, clinical, and aesthetic outcomes following immediate loading (IL) and delayed loading (DL) of single dental implants after 1,3 and 5 years of follow-up.
Detailed Description
Purpose: The objective of the present prospective randomized clinical study was to compare the overall treatment outcome following immediate loading (IL) and delayed loading (DL) of single implants after 5 year of follow-up. Patients with a missing maxillary tooth (15-25) were randomly assigned to IL or DL. The protocol included implant installation in healed sites, immediate loading, delayed loading, temporary screw-retained restoration, and replacement with a permanent single implant crown. Outcome measures were implant survival, marginal bone level, soft tissue changes, papillae index, pink, and white esthetic score (PES and WES), patient judged aesthetics, and oral health impact profile (OHiP-14).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Oral Health Impact Profile 14
Time Frame: Pre-surgery
The Oral Health Impact Profile 14 (OHIP-14) measure oral health related quality of life. The oral health-related quality of life is calculated using the Swedish validated version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire. The questionnaires are completed at the beginning of the treatment and 12 months after the definitive crown placement. The scale consists of 14 variables that are scored 1,2,3,4 or 5, the 14 variables scores are combined. Scale range 14-70, 14 minimum and 70 maximum. A low score represent a better oral health related quality of life.
White Esthetic Score
Time Frame: 5 years
The White esthetic score (WES) measures the aesthetic appearance of the implant crown. Intraoral photographs from the aesthetic baseline and follow-up appointments are used to register the white esthetic score, an objective aesthetic scale were the shape,size,colour and structure of the implant crown is rated. The scale consists of 5 variables that are scored 0,1 or 2, the 5 variables scores are combined. Scale range 0-10, 0 minimum and 10 maximum. A higher score represent a better aesthetic outcome.
Oral Health Impact Profile 14 (OHIP-14)
Time Frame: After 12 months
The Oral Health Impact Profile 14 (OHIP-14) measure oral health related quality of life. The oral health-related quality of life is calculated using the Swedish validated version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire. The questionnaires are completed at the beginning of the treatment and 12 months after the definitive crown placement. The scale consists of 14 variables that are scored 1,2,3,4 or 5, the 14 variables scores are combined. Scale range 14-70, 14 minimum and 70 maximum. A low score represent a better oral health related quality of life.
Change in Level of Marginal Bone
Time Frame: Baseline to 5 years
Digital intra-oral periapical radiographs at different time points. The marginal bone level is measured after calibration. Measurements are taken from the implant-abutment junction to the marginal bone level (millimetres). Change in marginal bone level is calculated by comparing bone-to-implant contact level of all appointments to radiographic baseline.
Pink Esthetic Score
Time Frame: After 5 year
The Pink esthetic score (PES) measures the aesthetic appearance of mucosa tissue at the implant site. Intraoral photographs from the aesthetic baseline and follow-up appointments are used to register the pink esthetic score, an objective aesthetic scale were the shape,size,colour and structure of the soft tissue is rated. The scale consists of 7 variables that are scored 0,1 or 2, the 7 variables scores are combined. Scale range 0-14, 0 minimum and 14 maximum. A higher score represent a better aesthetic outcome.
