PURPOSE: To evaluate the outcome of treatment in the rehabilitation of edentulous jaws with early loaded full-arch screw-retained prostheses after up to 4 years of function. METHODS: Patients with completely edentulous maxillae and/or mandibles, or presenting natural teeth with a poor or hopeless prognosis, received 6 implants each in the mandible and/or 8 in the upper jaw. All patients received a full-arch prosthetic reconstruction. RESULTS: A total of 19 patients were treated with a total of 164 implants. One hundred nineteen implants were placed immediately after tooth extraction, and 45 implants were placed in healed sites. Overall, 8 implants failed, leading to a 4-year cumulative survival rate of 95.1%. CONCLUSIONS: The rehabilitation of the edentulous maxilla and mandible with an early loaded prosthesis represents a viable alternative treatment to classic loading protocols.
