Immediate loading of dental implants inserted into fresh postextraction sites has recently been proposed as a novel but challenging surgical approach. However, histological evidence and comparative data are still missing. The aim of this study was an histological and histomorphometrical comparison of submerged and immediately loaded dental implants with a new modified acid etched surface inserted into postextraction sites of nonhuman primates.
