TL;DR: It can be concluded that non-submerged ITI implants maintain success rates well above 90% in different clinical centers for observation periods up to 8 years indicating that the applied life table analysis is a reliable statistical method to evaluate the long-term prognosis of dental implants.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, under defined conditions, solid screw ITI implants with an SLA endosseous surface can be restored after approximately six weeks of healing with a high predictability of success, defined by abutment placement at 35 Ncm without countertorque, and with subsequent implant success rates of greater than 99% two years after restoration.

TL;DR: Evaluating the Osstell as a diagnostic tool capable of differentiating between stable and mobile ITI implants and a cut-off threshold implant stability quotient (ISQ) value obtained at implant placement that might be predictive of osseointegration are preliminary data that might orient the practitioner to choose among various loading protocols and to selectively monitor implants during the healing phase.

TL;DR: This study showed no difference in implant stability between the IL and DL procedures over the first 3 months of healing and evaluated any difference between immediately loaded (IL) implants and standard delayed loaded (DL) implants.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that sites filled with autografts clearly demonstrated the best results underneath barrier membranes in the early phase of healing, and tricalcium phosphate showed the most promising results.
