Purpose.
To present the outcomes of immediately loaded single implants placed in the anterior maxilla.
Methods.
Over a 2-year period, all patients referred to a private clinic were considered for enrolment in this study.
Inclusion criteria were single-tooth placement in postextraction sockets or healed sites of the anterior maxilla.
All implants were immediately loaded and followed for a period of 1 year after the placement of definitive crowns.
The outcome measures were implant stability, survival, and success.
Results.
34 patients were selected and 43 tapered implants with a knife-edge thread design and a nanostructured, calcium-incorporated surface (Anyridge®, Megagen, Gyeongsang, Korea) were installed.
Two implants were not sufficiently stable at placement (ISQ < 60) and were considered failed for immediate loading; 41 implants had an ISQ ≥ 60 at placement and were immediately loaded.
One year after the placement of definitive crowns, no implant failures were reported, for a survival rate of 100%.
No biological complications were found, but 2 implants had their prosthetic abutments loosened: the implant success rate was 95.2%.
Conclusions.
In the present study on the immediate loading of single implants in the anterior maxilla, positive outcomes were reported, with high survival (100%) and success (95.2%) rates (the present study has been registered in the ISRCTN registry, a publicly available trial register recognized by WHO and ICMJE, with number ISRCTN12935478).
