Introduction<br />
These guidelines were designed to serve as a reference<br />
for the dental practitioner to utilize 3i implants and surgical<br />
instruments in immediate occlusal loading of the fully<br />
edentulous mandible.<br />
Initially, occlusal loading of dental implants was governed<br />
by a strict protocol. 1,2 <strong>Immediate</strong> occlusal loading of dental<br />
implants in some cases in the 1960’s resulted in fibrous<br />
encapsulation of the implants, implant mobility and loss of<br />
implants. 3 There are significant differences between immediate<br />
occlusal loading of dental implants and the immediate<br />
restoration of dental implants without occlusal function.<br />
<strong>Immediate</strong> occlusal loading requires multiple implants rigidly<br />
splinted by a fixed prosthesis. <strong>Immediate</strong> restoration of dental<br />
implants can be accomplished with single implants, but the<br />
restorations are contoured to have no occlusal contact in<br />
centric occlusion, lateral working or balancing movements.<br />
Authors have reported favorable results on immediate loading<br />
of dental implants. In 1997, Tarnow et al reported 98%<br />
cumulative survival rates (CSR) 1 to 6 years post-implant<br />
treatment. 4 In 2000, Cooper et al reported 98% CSR 18 months<br />
post-implant treatment. 5 Testori et al (2003) reported one<br />
failure, due to infection, in a study involving 92 OSSEOTITE ®<br />
Implants that were immediately loaded with fixed prostheses<br />
in edentulous mandibles. Testori et al reported a CSR for<br />
OSSEOTITE Implants of 98.9%, which was achieved for up to<br />
48 months of follow-up. 6 The prosthetic cumulative success<br />
rate for the same period was 100%. 6<br />
DIEM, the latin word for day, has been chosen by 3i as the<br />
name for our initiative to incorporate immediate loading<br />
procedures into your practice. Evidence based research will<br />
drive the development of clinician driven guidelines for each<br />
type of immediate loading procedure. This initiative by 3i is<br />
divided into 4 phases:<br />
1. <strong>Immediate</strong> occlusal loading of the fully edentulous mandible.<br />
2. <strong>Immediate</strong> occlusal loading of the fully edentulous maxilla.<br />
<strong>Immediate</strong> non-occlusal loading of the partially edentulous<br />
mandible/maxilla.<br />
3. <strong>Immediate</strong> occlusal loading of the partially edentulous<br />
mandible/maxilla.<br />
4. <strong>Immediate</strong> non-occlusal loading of the single tooth implant.<br />
The following DIEM <strong>Guidelines</strong> for the fully edentulous<br />
mandible have been developed for clinicians by consensus<br />
from a peer leading group of implant surgeons and restorative<br />
dentists. It is intended to provide clinicians interested in<br />
treating patients with <strong>Immediate</strong> <strong>Occlusal</strong> Loading (IOL),<br />
using 3i OSSEOTITE Implants and IOL Components, with<br />
guidelines relative to patient selection, diagnostic work-ups,<br />
surgical parameters and restorative techniques. The guidelines<br />
illustrate the use of OSSEOTITE NT Implants and a new line<br />
of IOL Abutments and IOL Cylinders that were designed for this<br />
treatment concept. The guidelines have been specifically<br />
developed to emphasize simplicity and flexibility in multiple<br />
clinical situations. Patients may be edentulous or dentulous<br />
on the day of surgery. If they are edentulous, implants can be<br />
placed crestally or sub-crestally. If the patient presents with a<br />
hopeless mandibular dentition, the teeth will be extracted and<br />
an alveolectomy performed in order to obtain optimal surgical<br />
sites for implant placement. In addition, it is the responsibility<br />
of the implant clinician to determine the benefits and<br />
limitations of a particular treatment protocol for each patient.<br />
DIEM <strong>Guidelines</strong> are intended to serve as a roadmap to<br />
immediate loading. Once the doctor has become comfortable<br />
performing immediate load procedures they may take a variety<br />
of personally selected detours to enhance their technique.<br />
There are two main objectives to Phase 1 of the DIEM <strong>Guidelines</strong>:<br />
1. To create a full-arch, fixed, implant-supported provisional<br />
restoration for the immediate occlusal loading of an<br />
edentulous mandible.<br />
2. To create a full-arch, fixed, implant-supported provisional<br />
restoration for the immediate occlusal loading of a partially<br />
edentulous mandible, which is to be rendered fully<br />
edentulous as part of the IOL procedure.<br />
Before<br />
After<br />
A determination needs to be made prior to performing an<br />
immediate loading procedure; (1) are the surgical and prosthetic<br />
procedures to be rendered in the same office or (2) is the<br />
patient moving from the surgical office to the prosthetic office.<br />
If the patient is to move between offices, coordination of<br />
appointments is critical.<br />

<strong>Immediate</strong> <strong>Occlusal</strong> Loading<br />
<strong>Guidelines</strong><br />
Mandibular Fully Edentulous<br />
PRE-TREATMENT DIAGNOSTICS:<br />
(Surgeon, Restorative Dentist And Laboratory Technician)<br />
• Medical work up<br />
• Clinical and radiographic evaluation<br />
(1) Periapical X-rays<br />
(2) Panoramic X-rays<br />
(3) CT Scans<br />
• Pre-prosthetic evaluation, articulated casts with record<br />
of vertical dimension<br />
• Verified wax try-in(s) set to 1st molar occlusion if<br />
implants will only be placed between the mental foramina<br />
(if a provisional denture is made)<br />
• Measure gingival thickness. This will facilitate IOL<br />
abutment selection<br />
TREATMENT INDICATIONS:<br />
• Adequate bone quality equal to or greater than Type III<br />
• Bone height equal to or greater than 12mm<br />
to allow for a minimum 10mm implant<br />
• Bone width equal to or greater than 6mm<br />
to allow for a minimum 4mm diameter implant<br />
• Adequate curvature of the arch and space between<br />
mental foramina to permit proper anterior/posterior<br />
spread measurement will allow functional cantilevers<br />
to first molar occlusion<br />
TREATMENT CONTRAINDICATIONS:<br />
• Health complications<br />
• Para-functional habits<br />
• Poor bone quality - Type IV (not able to achieve<br />
primary stability)<br />
• Limited curvature of the arch and space between mental<br />
foramina (will not allow good anterior/posterior spread<br />
measurement to achieve functional cantilevers to 1st<br />
molar occlusion)<br />
• Bone height less than 12mm<br />
• Bone width less than 6mm<br />
A/P SPREAD DEFINED:<br />
• The A/P, or anterior/posterior, spread measurement is a<br />
formula used to calculate the maximum indicated cantilever<br />
length off the posterior-most implant on a fixed restoration.<br />
It is calculated by measuring the distance between two<br />
parallel lines, one drawn across the distal of the posteriormost<br />
implants and one drawn through the center of the<br />
anterior-most implant, and multiplying the result by 1.5. 7<br />

C. Restorative Dentist And Laboratory<br />
• Fabricate a surgical guide stent by duplicating the patient’s<br />
existing denture in clear acrylic resin.<br />
OR<br />
• Using an immediate or provisional denture, fabricate<br />
surgical guide stent in clear acrylic resin from the wax try-in.<br />
OR<br />
• The immediate or provisional denture may be used as<br />
the surgical guide stent.<br />
6
D. Prepare Surgical Guide Stent<br />
• Drill guide holes in the clear guide stent or provisional<br />
denture from 1st premolar to 1st premolar where 5-6<br />
implants will be positioned between the mental foramina<br />
to achieve a good Anterior/Posterior (A/P) spread and<br />
provide cross arch stabilization.<br />
• Open the lingual side of the surgical guide stent using an<br />
acrylic bur.<br />
• Placement beyond the mental foramina is okay if there is<br />
adequate bone.<br />
E. Prepare <strong>Immediate</strong> Or Provisional Denture<br />
• Process the immediate or provisional denture in acrylic<br />
resin from the wax try-in. Make the denture a little thicker<br />
buccolingually than usual for the prosthesis. This will<br />
provide additional strength to the prosthesis.<br />
• Relieve the denture approximately 8mm beyond the<br />
posterior-most implant locations and to the proper depth<br />
if distal extensions are used.<br />
2. SURGERY AND IMPLANT PLACEMENT<br />
A. Try-in Of Denture And Surgical Stent<br />
• If the patient is partially edentulous, cut all remaining teeth<br />
off at gingival crest.<br />
•Verify that the opposing occlusion is stable. If necessary,<br />
add denture adhesive.<br />
• Place adhesive bilaterally in free-end saddle areas of<br />
denture and surgical guide stent.<br />
• Add thin layers of bite registration material to free-end<br />
saddle areas of denture and have patient bite to place. This<br />
will ensure a stable and reproducible seat for the denture.<br />
• Place adhesive bilaterally on occlusal surfaces of<br />
posterior teeth on the denture.<br />
• Place bite registration material on posterior occlusal<br />
surfaces on the denture. Return denture to position and<br />
have patient occlude in maximum intercuspation. This will<br />
produce a stable and reproducible occlusal position.<br />
• Repeat the above process for the surgical stent.<br />
Clinical Tip: Some surgeons prefer to have the bite<br />
registration for the stent recorded in protrusive to improve<br />
access for implant site preparation and implant placement.<br />
• Remove denture(s).<br />

DIEM<br />
<strong>Immediate</strong> <strong>Occlusal</strong> Loading<br />
<strong>Guidelines</strong><br />
Mandibular Fully Edentulous<br />
B. Ridge Preparation<br />
• Make a mid-crestal incision extending along the ridge and<br />
continue beyond the mental foramina, where a releasing<br />
incision is made buccal to lingual. If the patient is partially<br />
edentulous, extend the incision sulcularly around the<br />
remaining roots.<br />
• Visually locate the mental foramina and alveolar nerve<br />
bundles and separate flap 5-10mm beyond this landmark.<br />
• On the alveolar ridge, with a round bur, mark the location<br />
of the inferior alveolar nerve as it exists the mental<br />
foramina for landmarks.<br />
• If the patient is partially edentulous, extract the residual<br />
tooth roots at this time.<br />
• Reduce uneven bone contours to create a level plane.<br />
C. Surgical Placement Of OSSEOTITE NT<br />
Or OSSEOTITE NT Certain Implants<br />
• Position the guide stent in the mouth by seating it on the<br />
retromolar pads and placing the buccal and lingual flanges<br />
in the vestibules as positioning guides.<br />
• Place anterior-most implant first followed by the two<br />
posterior-most implants. Next, split the difference<br />
between the anterior and posterior implants and place<br />
the final implants.<br />
• Place implants using the OSSEOTITE NT Drilling Sequence<br />
for crestal or sub-crestal placement to achieve adequate<br />
primary stability for immediate loading.<br />
NOTE:<br />
When placing External Hex Implants do not remove the<br />
implant mounts at this time.<br />
D. <strong>Immediate</strong> Load Determination<br />
• Place the IIPDTS or IIPDTL placement driver (for Certain)<br />
or a MDR10 hand-piece connector (for external hex) in a<br />
torque device.<br />
• Apply forward torque of 20Ncm to each implant to<br />
check stability.<br />
• If the implant does not move and is stable in the bone, the<br />
implant may be immediately loaded.<br />
• If the implant moves and does not feel stable in the bone, the<br />
implant should not be immediately loaded. A single or twostage<br />
surgical technique may be used on a non-loaded implant.<br />
• <strong>Immediate</strong> <strong>Occlusal</strong> Loading ideally includes all implants in<br />
the arch. However, if at least 4 implants are determined to<br />
be stable, the provisional prosthesis may be attached to<br />
and supported by them while the others are not loaded.<br />
8
E. For External Connection Implants<br />
• Remove all mounts from the external hex implants.<br />
F. Select And Place IOL Abutments<br />
• Select an IOL Abutment height for each implant so that the<br />
interface will be 1-2mm above the level of the gingiva. The<br />
abutment platforms should be as level as possible.<br />
• Place an IOL Abutment on each implant using the<br />
Abutment Driver.<br />
• Torque the abutment screws to 20Ncm using the Abutment<br />
Driver Tip and a torque device.<br />
G. Suture Gingiva<br />
• Suture the gingival tissue closed around the IOL Abutments<br />
using resorbable suture.<br />
• If the patient is to be sent to the restorative dentist, place<br />
the IOL Healing Caps on the abutments using the large<br />
hex driver.<br />

3. RESTORATIVE<br />
A. Surgeon Or Restorative Dentist<br />
Provisional Restoration<br />
• Cut a piece of rubber dam to follow the anterior arch curve.<br />
• Cut holes at the implant locations using a rubber dam<br />
punch so it fits over the abutments.<br />
• Adapt the rubber dam to the ridge where acrylic will be<br />
added into the denture. This will separate the surgical and<br />
prosthetic fields.<br />
• Fill the anterior portion of the denture with heavy bodied<br />
impression putty.<br />
• Articulate the lower denture with the opposing using the<br />
bite registration and have the patient close onto the IOL<br />
Abutments. Allow the putty to set.<br />
• Remove the denture(s) and drill holes in the provisional<br />
denture at the abutment locations. Drill each hole to the<br />
approximate diameter of the temporary cylinders.<br />
B. Place IOL Temporary Cylinders<br />
• Place the IOL Temporary Cylinders on the abutments<br />
and attach using hand tightened hex Gold-Tite<br />
retaining screws.<br />
• Reposition the rubber dam into the grooves of the IOL<br />
Temporary Cylinders (see insert).<br />
C. Place IOL Distal Extensions<br />
• If you are using the distal extensions, slide the distal<br />
extension support bars over the two posterior-most<br />
temporary cylinders and position them so they will support<br />
the distally extended posterior teeth (see insert).<br />
• Apply a small amount of acrylic resin around the distal<br />
extensions to hold them in proper position.<br />
10
D. Adjust The Denture<br />
• Try in the provisional denture over the temporary cylinders<br />
and distal extensions.<br />
• Relieve the acrylic resin at the cylinder and distal extension<br />
locations as needed so the denture passively seats on the<br />
edentulous ridge and retromolar pads.<br />
E. Verify Occlusion<br />
• Evaluate the occlusion to verify that there is no interference<br />
with the cylinders and the denture is fully seated. If one or<br />
more cylinders interferes, reduce its height only enough to<br />
clear the opposing occlusion at this time. Do not prepare<br />
the cylinder flush with the denture at this time unless the<br />
occlusion requires it.<br />
• Place access hole filler (cotton, wax, etc.) inside the<br />
cylinders to prevent acrylic resin from entering the<br />
access openings.<br />
F. Lute Denture To Temporary Cylinders<br />
• Mix hard autopolymerizing acrylic resin and place in<br />
a syringe.<br />
• Place the acrylic resin inside the denture relief area and<br />
into the retention groove around the temporary cylinder<br />
on the anterior-most implant.<br />
• Have the patient close into the established vertical using<br />
the bite registration to verify the denture is in the correct<br />
position. Maintain centric occlusion while the acrylic resin<br />
is setting.<br />
• Allow the acrylic resin to set per the manufacturer’s<br />
instructions.<br />
• Remove the access hole filler from the luted cylinder and<br />
remove the hex screw.<br />
• Continue with luting all other cylinders into the denture.<br />

G. Remove Denture From Mouth<br />
And Reduce Cylinders<br />
• Remove all access hole filler from the temporary cylinders.<br />
• Unscrew the retaining screws and remove the denture<br />
from the abutments.<br />
• Remove the rubber dam from the mouth.<br />
• Using a carbide cross-cut bur adjust the heights of the<br />
cylinders to conform with the lingual surface of the denture.<br />
H. Modify Denture Into Fixed Provisional<br />
Restoration<br />
• Place polishing protectors onto the cylinder interfaces.<br />
• Add acrylic resin to any areas with voids.<br />
• Verify the stability of the cylinders.<br />
• Using an acrylic bur remove all flanges, the acrylic resin<br />
on ridge contact areas and all excess acrylic from the<br />
bottom of the denture between the cylinders and posterior<br />
of the first molars.<br />
• Remove the polishing protectors.<br />
I. Adjust Occlusion<br />
• Place the provisional restoration on the IOL Abutments<br />
and attach using retaining screws until finger tight.<br />
• Adjust the occlusion using articulating paper into group<br />
function to ensure even distribution of support, minimizing<br />
lateral forces.<br />
• Mark any areas where acrylic may be contacting the tissue.<br />
• Remove the provisional restoration.<br />
12
J. Polish The Fixed Provisional Restoration<br />
• Place polishing protectors onto the cylinder interfaces.<br />
• Relieve any marked areas.<br />
• They are in place! Polish the entire provisional denture<br />
so surfaces are smooth.<br />
• Remove the polishing protectors.<br />
K. Seat The Fixed Provisional Restoration<br />
• Place the provisional denture back onto the IOL Abutments<br />
and attach using the Hex Gold-Tite Retaining Screws.<br />
•Torque the screws to 10Ncm using the large hex driver tip<br />
and a torque device.<br />
L. Complete Fixed Provisional Restoration<br />
• Place a protective material over the screw heads, seal<br />
the access holes with acrylic resin and polish.<br />
• The provisional denture should not be removed or<br />
loosened during the following six weeks.<br />
• Instruct the patient on hygiene care of the<br />
provisional restoration.<br />
• Place the patient on a soft diet for two weeks.<br />
• Patient should be seen after two weeks for follow-up.<br />
13
M. Final Impression For Definitive Restoration<br />
• The final impression of the definitive restoration may be<br />
made 4-6 weeks after the surgical appointment.<br />
• Refer to the 3i Restorative Manual for instructions on<br />
fabrication of the definitive restoration.<br />
This manual will instruct practitioners in the use of 3i’s implant systems. The success of any dental implant system depends upon proper use of the components and<br />
instrumentation. This manual is not intended for use as a substitute for professional training and experience.<br />
