35 Patients
107 Implants
24 Months
The aim of this 2 year prospective study was to clinically and radiographically evaluate Laser-Lok implants in immediately loaded cases with fixed prosthesis in both the mandible and maxilla.
Study Results
Success Rate (%)
Laser-Lok implants provide highly predictable results when immediately loaded in either the maxilla or mandible.
Average Crestal Bone Loss
The results of this study are in agreement with multiple previous studies4,5,6,10,12 showing that Laser-Lok reduces minimizes bone loss.

Study Conclusion
Laser-Lok microtextured collar may lead to a decreased amount of initial crestal bone loss also when implants are immediately loaded.
