Cytokine levels in immediate loaded and unloaded mini-screw: A split-mouth randomised clinical trial
Although all biomarker levels were statistically higher in the immediately loaded group at all experimental time points in comparison with the unloaded group, no mini-screws were lost. This suggests a balanced and normal adaptive bone response to the mechanical stress of immediate loading, with no negative impact on clinical outcomes.
