Immediate Loading and Long-Term Clinical Outcomes

Immediate loading of dental implants is a well-established protocol in the edentulous mandible but still clinicians do not use this treatment protocol in routine basis. The presentation demonstrates the principles of bone healing and the requirements in order to achieve successful clinical outcomes.

Various clinical protocols as well as studies using different implant designs and in conjunction with grafting techniques will provide scientific information and the evidence about the options and limits of immediate functional loading for the daily practice. The treatment protocols will highlight the long term sustainable clinical outcomes and present the requirements for the success.
