Clinical Investigation of an Immediate Load Protocol Using Axial and Tilted Implants to Treat Patients with Failing Dentition or Complete Edentulism

This clinical investigation evaluated a specific surgical/prosthetic protocol for full-arch fixed dental restorations supported by immediate loaded axial and axial and tilted implants in a multicenter cohort study. Evaluation was based on a comparison of the survival rates of axial and tilted implants, as well as the overall prosthetic survival rate. Mid-study results confirmed that immediate loading of axial and tilted implants following the studied protocol provides a viable treatment modality for the rehabilitation of edentulous arches and terminal dentition.
