2 Proceedings of the Third ITI Consensus Conference: Loading Protocols in Implant Dentistry
With over 4500 Fellows and Members in more than 40 countries, the International Team for Implantology (ITI) is a non-profit academic organization of professionals in implant dentistry and tissue regeneration. The ITI organizes Consensus Conferences at 5-year intervals to discuss relevant topics in implant dentistry. The first and second ITI Consensus Conferences in 1993 and 1998 (Proceedings of the ITI Consensus Conference, published in 2000) primarily discussed basic surgical and prosthetic issues in implant dentistry. The third ITI Consensus Conference was convened in 2003. For this conference, the ITI Education Committee decided to focus the discussion on four special topics that had received much attention in recent years, “Loading Protocols for Endosseous Dental Implants” being one of them (Proceedings of the Third ITI Consensus Conference, JOMI Special Supplement, 2004). One group, under the leadership of Professor David Cochran, was asked to focus on, review the relevant literature on, and find consensus relating to loading protocols for endosseous dental implants.

D. Morton
The group was asked to develop evidence-based reviews on topics related to various loading protocols for dental implants. The following literature reviews were prepared and presented to the group for discussion: Matteo Chiapasco: “Early and Immediate Restoration and Loading of Implants in Completely Edentulous Patients” Jeffrey Ganeles, Daniel Wismeijer: “Early and Immediately Restored and Loaded Dental Implants for Single-Tooth and Partial-Arch Applications” Dean Morton, Robert Jaffin, Hans-Peter Weber: “Immediate Restoration and Loading of Dental Implants: Clinical Considerations and Protocols” The prime objective of the literature reviews was to determine whether a procedure could be recommended as routine based on the available evidence. The second objective was to identify whether patients perceived a benefit associated with these procedures. At the ITI Consensus Conference, the authors presented their manuscripts to the group for discussion. There was discussion concerning how the authors approached writing the draft, how the literature was searched and reviewed, what the major findings were, and finally, what conclusions could be drawn. During the discussion, several statements were made regarding immediate or early restoration and/or loading of implants in edentulous and partially dentate patients. These are listed below, along with issues that were identified throughout the discussions. 2.1.1 Definition of Terms
In recent years, confusion has been evident with terminology as it relates to loading protocols in implant dentistry. The group discussed this terminology in detail, in relation to both existing literature and ITI consensus. Most of these terms were defined in a conference on immediate and early loading that was held in Spain in May 2002 (Aparicio and coworkers, 2003). However, the group modified these definitions for use in their report. The modified definitions are presented here: Conventional loading The prosthesis is attached in a second procedure after a healing period of 3 to 6 months. Early loading A restoration in contact with the opposing dentition and placed at least 48 hours after implant placement but not later than 3 months afterward. Immediate restoration A restoration inserted within 48 hours of implant placement but not in occlusion with the opposing dentition. Immediate loading A restoration placed in occlusion with the opposing dentition within 48 hours of implant placement. Delayed loading The prosthesis is attached in a second procedure that takes place some time later than the conventional healing period of 3 to 6 months. 2.1.2 Review of Loading Protocols
The choice of loading protocols should be viewed as dependent, among other factors on two distinct processes: primary and secondary bone contact. By understanding these concepts, it is possible to appreciate how various loading protocols are viable and why they are dependent on these processes. Primary bone contact As soon as an implant is placed into the jawbone, certain areas of the implant surface are in direct contact with bone. Secondary bone contact As healing occurs, the bone around the implant surface is remodeled, and areas of new bone contact with the implant surface appear. This remodeled bone and new bone contact, termed secondary bone contact, predominates at later healing times when the amount of primary contact is decreased. Shortened loading protocols Immediate and early loading protocols should focus on (1) the amount of primary bone contact, (2) the quantity and quality of bone at the implant site, and (3) the rapidity of bone formation around the implant. Immediate loading When existing bone of high quality and quantity is found and when other factors are favorable, immediate loading of the implant may be possible. Early loading If the existing bone is not of high quality and quantity, then bone formation must occur within a relatively short time so that early loading of the implants can take place. Direct occlusal contact In the case of direct occlusal contact, the restoration makes contact with the opposing dentition. Indirect occlusion With indirect occlusion, the implant is restored without directly contacting the opposing dentition, i.e. it is out of occlusion. Progressive loading With progressive loading, the implant is restored in “light” contact initially and is gradually brought into full contact with the opposing dentition. 2.1.3 Consensus Statements
With the understanding that the literature base is small and the strength of evidence graded as inadequate to fair, the group reached the following conclusions with regard to loading protocols for endosseous dental implants in 2003: Statements A:
Edentulous Mandible Statement A.1 In edentulous mandibles, the immediate loading of 4 implants with an overdenture in the interforaminal area with rigid bar fixation and cross-arch stabilization is a predictable and well-documented procedure. Statement A.2 The early loading of implants (splinted or unsplinted) in the edentulous mandible with an overdenture is not well-documented. Statement A.3 Immediate loading of implants supporting fixed restorations in the edentulous mandible is a predictable and well-documented procedure, provided that a relatively large number of implants are placed. Statement A.4 The Consensus Group found only six publications supporting the early loading of implants in the edentulous mandible with a fixed restoration. Statements B:
Edentulous Maxilla Statement B.1 No articles were found supporting immediate or early loading of implants with an overdenture in the edentulous maxilla. Therefore, this procedure would have to be considered experimental at this time. ...
