Purpose: To compare and evaluate the efficacy of strategic implant^® placement followed by immediate loading in regard to primary stability, quality of bone and survival and success of implants.

Material and Methods: This prospective cohort study included total 26 patients were selected from both sex, 19 males/7 females in age group of 40 to 70 years, were restored with strategic implant^® irrespective of the quality and quantity of cancellous/alveolar bone following immediate functional loading protocols. 8 to 10 strategic implant^® were placed per jaw and restored with a prosthesis within 72 hours. 447 BECES^® implants, 20 BECES EX^® implants, 4 KOC MICRO^® implants and 2 ZDI implants were placed in the study.

Result: With the follow-up period of 22 months, results with strategic implant^® were of great success with no delayed complications and failure with a success rate of ~99%. Secondary complications such as abutment screw loosening/fracture and peri-implantitis were not observed within the limitations of this study (p>0.05).

Conclusion: Regardless the bone volume, quantitively and qualitatively, functional rehabilitation of missing stomatognathic system following graft-less protocol is possible with the least traumatic and in-expensive technology thereby providing desired results benefitting the needful; secondary complications like graft resorption resulting in implant failure, abutment screw loosening, abutment screw fracture, peri-implantitis can be avoided with the technology of strategic implant^®.
