Consensus statements and recommended clinical procedures regarding loading protocols for endosseous dental implants.
Cochran DL, Morton D, Weber HP. Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants 2004;19(suppl):109–113.
Confusion is still present among clinicians and researchers about what constitutes early loading. This statement defined early loading as a restoration that is in contact with the opposing dentition and placed at least 48 hours after implant placement but not later than 3 months afterward. It is obvious that the time frame is very flexible, and more consensus is necessary to craft terminology that more accurately reflects quickly changing clinical protocols.
