Early bone formation around immediately restored implants with and without occlusal contact: a human histologic and histomorphometric evaluation. Case report.

Human biopsy of immediately loaded implants is the most definitive means to determine the occurrence of osseointegration. This case report discusses the histologic and histomorphometric analysis of the bone-titanium interface in immediately restored implants with and without occlusal contact, retrieved after a healing period of 5 weeks. The two implants had been inserted in the posterior mandible; both were freestanding. One implant had been put into functional loading (in occlusal contact) with a fixed provisional prosthesis on the day of implant surgery (implant A), whereas the other implant was restored without occlusal contact (implant B). Both implants were retrieved with a 5-mm trephine after 5 weeks. Before retrieval, both implants appeared to be clinically osseointegrated, and no mobility was present. Both implants were surrounded by newly formed bone lamellae. In both implants about 0.5 to 1 mm of pre-existing and newly formed bone was found coronal to the implant shoulder, with no resorption of the pre-existing coronal bone. The bone-implant contact percentage in implant A was 51.2% +/- 4.5%, whereas in implant B it was 55.1% +/- 2.3%. Within the limitations of this study, the histologic findings indicated that no differences were found in the histologic response around immediately restored implants with and without occlusal contact.
