Direct loading of two-piece titanium implants: Prospective clinical and radiological study

Purpose of the Study: Our aim was to check the survival of 10 immediate loaded two-piece Tite fit titanium implants. The objectives of this study were to check the radiological crestal bone level at 0, 3, 6, and 12 months and to check the esthetic outcome at the time of definitive prosthesis placement and during follow-ups. Materials and Methods: Ten Patients with optimum bone volume to accommodate two piece Tite fit titanium implants were selected. Implants were loaded immediately. Radiographical follow up was done for 12 months at 0, 3, 6, 12 months interval. Results: At the end of 6 month of final prosthesis placement, all 10 implants were stable with no clinical mobility and no sign of infection. Crestal bone levels at the end of 12 month were either at first thread or above. Esthetic outcome both patients and operator point of view was satisfactory. Conclusion: Within the limitation of the study, the favorable implant survival rate and stable bone level together with good esthetic and soft tissue outcome suggest that the LifeCare two-piece Titefit implants with immediate loading protocol is a viable and predictable clinical concept.
