Summary of scientific data on implant loading guided by Ostell (ISQ).

ISQ value <60 (Low stability) 60–64 (Medium stability) 65–69 (Medium stability) ≥70 (High stability)
  2-stage, conventional loading, re-measure at follow-up > 2 months [11,12]

Consider conservative approach due to low implant stability (i.e., relatively high implant mobility) [13]
Full splint: 1-stage, immediate loading
Partial case: 1-stage, immediate loading
Single case: 2-stage, conventional loading, re-measure at follow-up >2 months [11,12,14]
Full splint: 1-stage, immediate loading
Partial case: 1-stage, immediate loading
Single case: 1-stage, early loading, re-measure at follow-up 6-8 weeks [11,15,16]
Full splint: 1-stage, immediate loading
Partial case: 1-stage, immediate loading
Single case: 1-stage, immediate loading [11,15,17,18]

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
