Objective To compare the effects of different implant placement and loading protocols on the marginal bone loss (MBL) in beagles by intraoral radiography. Methods and materials 61 dental implants were inserted on 9 beagle dogs at bilateral lower posteriors according to 8 different protocols: immediate implant placement and immediate loading for 3 months (IIP + IL3) or 6 months (IIP + IL6) and unloading (IIP + UL), immediate implant placement and delayed loading for 3 months (IIP + DL3) or 6 months (IIP + DL6), delayed implant placement and immediate loading for 3 months (DIP + IL3) or delayed loading for 3 months (DIP + DL3) and unloading (DIP + UL). Intraoral radiography was performed to analyze the MBL during each surgery, before and after the implant placement and at 3-month intervals after the procedure. Results In total, 57 samples were included. There was less MBL (p<0.05) in the IIP + IL3 group (1.22 ± 0.63 mm) compared to the DIP + IL3 group (1.89 ± 0.9 mm). The longer the loading time, the more bone loss appeared in the IIP + IL group; however, the results were reversed in the IIP + DL group. The MBL during the latter 3-month period was dramatically decreased compared to the former 3-month period in the IIP + DL3 group (p<0.05). Conclusions The IIP + IL group seems superior to the DL protocol and the MBL changed significantly during the first three months and thereafter became stable.
