Dental implants are an increasingly popular form of tooth replacement. However, until recently, dental implant placement and loading was a long process that many patients and clinicians weren’t willing to undertake, despite the benefits. Naturally, patients found the process frustrating, as they spent months between stages with gaps in their dentition. As patient demand for one-day dental implants grew, new technologies and procedures finally made it possible to deliver on these ambitious promises. Immediate implant placement is one innovative procedure that’s made dental implants more appealing to patients and their doctors.
This lecture aims to:
- Discuss the benefits and drawbacks of immediate implant, choosing the right implant, implant primary stability, bone quality and quantity, implant number and design and occlusal loading.
