RESEARCH

I was involved in an immediate implant load study which involved placing 4 implants per patient in the lower arch and within 2 to 3 days placing an upper complete denture and a lower bar and bar retained bar overdenture. There were 11 patients involved in the study and we have followed all of them for 3 years. No implants failed. I was the dentist who performed the prosthetic part of the treatment.
