Immediate vs early loading of 6.6 mm flapless-placed single implants: 9 years after-loading report of a split-mouth randomised controlled trial.

CONCLUSIONS: Flapless-placed 6.6 mm long single implants can be immediately loaded and remain successful up to 9 years after loading. Conflict-of-interest statement: This study was initially supported by a grant from Biomet 3i, which also provided free implants and related prosthetic components. Zimmer-Biomet then decided that this study was of no interest and stopped their funding, so the study became completely self-supported. Data property always belonged to the authors and by no means did the manufacturer interfere with the conduct of the trial or the publication of its results. PMID: 29806664 [PubMed - in process]
