Abstract Immediate loading of oral implants has been reported as a beneficial treatment protocol in implant dentistry that increases the comfort of the patient. However, documentation in the literature is poor regarding the clinical outcome and the peri-implant bone response of immediately loaded implants compared with the conventional loading protocol placed in different bone qualities. The aim of this report was to present the role of bone quality in the survival rate of implants using conventional or immediate loading according to the literature. A literature search analysis was performed to demonstrate the survival rate of immediately loaded implants, as well as data from the histologic and histomorphometric evaluation in comparison with conventional loaded implants. This analysis showed high survival rates of immediately loaded implants along with osseointegration, with high percentages of bone-to-implant contacts based on histologic evaluation from human and animal studies of immediately and conventionally loaded implants. This study may provide histologic and clinical evidence of the immediate loading protocol for different bone qualities.

Ultraviolet Laser

The biological effects of short-wave ultraviolet light has generally been described in terms of changes in cell growth or survival rates and production of chromosomal aberrations. Ultrastructural changes following exposure of cells to ultraviolet light, particularly at 265 nm, have not been reported.We have developed a means of irradiating populations of cells grown in vitro to a monochromatic ultraviolet laser beam at a wavelength of 265 nm based on the method of Johnson. The cell types studies were: i) WI-38, a human diploid fibroblast; ii) CMP, a human adenocarcinoma cell line; and iii) Don C-II, a Chinese hamster fibroblast cell strain. The cells were exposed either in situ or in suspension to the ultraviolet laser (UVL) beam. Irradiated cell populations were studied either "immediately" or following growth for 1-8 days after irradiation.Differential sensitivity, as measured by survival rates were observed in the three cell types studied. Pattern of ultrastructural changes were also different in the three cell types.
