Stackable Guide and Immediate Full Arch Loading: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 43 Edentulous Arches-The STAGE Study

As the population gets older, the prevalence of complete or partial tooth loss is increasing, significantly impacting people's quality of life. Scientific research demonstrates that implant-fixed complete dentures offer high levels of satisfaction. In certain cases, tooth loss can lead to significant bone atrophy, necessitating pre-implant bone reconstruction. We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving 43 arches, including or not bone grafts, rehabilitated using a stackable guided approach, which included an immediate loading protocol. The primary outcome measure was the survival rate of the implant at 4 months.
