About this trial
This study focuses on examining the efficacy and clinical performance of immediate loading of early placed single implants.
The aim of the randomized controlled trial is to compare between two loading protocols (immediate versus conventional) of early placed implants (Type 2-3A) in terms of clinical, radiographic, and patient-reported outcomes.
Null hypothesis: There will be no significant differences in implant survival/success, stability, radiographic marginal bone level, and patient reported outcomes between immediately or conventionally loaded and early placed implants.
