Abstract

Dental implants have truly come a long way since the days of Brenemark. In modern dentistry, dental implants in general, and immediate implant placement in specific, have almost become a mainstream treatment option for the restoration of missing teeth. But speaking prictically, what use is an immediate implant to the patient if they must still wait months before they receive a crown to use?

Advances in surgical and prosthetic methods and protocols have made the immediate loading of immediate implants a successful and desirable treatment modality. Research clearly demonstrates that in the hands of the capable clinician, the immediate loading/temporisation of immediate implants can save time, decrease post surgical bone loss, aid in implant osseo-integration, help sculpt soft tissue, and ultimately allow the faster delivery of the implant prosthesis to the patient.

Learning Objectives:

1.        Accurately differentiate the terms immediate implant, early delayed implant, and delayed implant.

2.        Accurately differentiate the terms early implant loading, early delayed implant loading, and delayed implant loading.

3.        Accurately differentiate the terms functional implant loading and non functional implant loading.

4.        Recognise the scientific reasearch pretaining to the immediate non-occlusal loading of immediate implants.

5.        Identify the clinical requirements of immediate implants and how to achieve them.

6.        Identify the clinical requirements of immediate non-occlusal loading of immediate implants and how to achieve them.

Observe a clinical step-by-step protocol for immediate non-occlusal loading of immediate implants.
