This randomized clinical trial evaluates different loading protocols for UV-photofunctionalized dental implants in the posterior maxilla. Clinical and radiographic outcomes will be assessed during follow
The study compares immediate, early, and conventional loading of UV-photofunctionalized dental implants placed in the posterior maxilla. Implant stability and peri-implant tissue changes will be evaluated clinically and radiographically

Implant Stability
Implant stability will be evaluated using Osstell device based on resonance frequency analysis (ISQ values).
Time frame: -Immediately after impant placement -immediately after loading -3 months after loading - 6 months after loading
Hard Tissue (peri-implant bone)
Marginal bone loss will be assessed using CBCT measured in mm.
Time frame: - Immediately Postoperative (baseline) - 3 months after loading. - 6 months after loading.
Soft Tissue
The peri-implant mucosa will be evaluated for signs of inflammation using the Modified Sulcus Bleeding Index (mSBI).
Time frame: At 6 months after loading.
Peri-implant probing depth
Probing depth will be assessed using a calibrated periodontal probe with light pressure and measured in mm.
Time frame: At 6 months after loading.
