Effect of Different Loading Protocols on Photofunctionalized Implants in the Posterior Maxilla

Effects of Different Loading Protocols on Photofunctionalized Dental Implants in the Posterior Maxilla: A Randomized Clinical Trial

This randomized clinical trial evaluates different loading protocols for UV-photofunctionalized dental implants in the posterior maxilla. Clinical and radiographic outcomes will be assessed during follow

The study compares immediate, early, and conventional loading of UV-photofunctionalized dental implants placed in the posterior maxilla. Implant stability and peri-implant tissue changes will be evaluated clinically and radiographically

Inclusion Criteria:

• • Patients with missed single tooth or multiple teeth in posterior maxilla

  • Patients Free from any para-functional habits.
  • Patient with Adequate inter-arch relation and inter-occlusal space to accommodate the prosthetic restoration.
  • Patient with good oral hygiene.
  • Patients Willing to participate in the study's follow-up intervals.

Exclusion Criteria:

• • Patients with any local or systemic disease that absolutely contraindicate implant placement or surgery.

  • Pregnancy.
  • Patients with any pathological lesion or aggressive periodontal disease at the planned surgical site.
  • Patients on drugs that could affect bone healing process such as bisphosphonate.
  • Smokers.
  • Uncooperative patients.
