The Influence of Progressive Static Load on the Ability of Dental Implants to Withstand Overloading Forces: An Experimental Study in Dogs.

CONCLUSION: The application of controlled progressive orthodontic loading on osseointegrated implants preceding overloading forces did not increase bone-to-implant contact. When applied, overloading significantly increased bone-to-implant contact compared with the unloaded implants. A significantly higher implant success rate was reported in the PL+OL group compared with the OL group.
