Immediate loading of implants placed in patients with untreated periodontal disease: A 5-year prospective cohort study.

CONCLUSIONS: Within the limitations of this study, it is possible to conclude that the rehabilitation of patients with untreated periodontitis using immediately loaded dental implants is feasible in the medium-term, when periodontal therapy is provided after rehabilitation and the patients are regularly maintained. Conflict of interest statement: This study was supported by a grant from Nobel Biocare Services (grant no. 2012-1099). PMID: 25237673 [PubMed - in process]
