Immediate and Early Loading of Implants:
What We Should and Shouldn’t Be Doing
Immediate loading of implants in the past has been associated with fibrous encapsulation and non-integration of implants. However, research with up to 15 years of data will be presented to show that in certain types of cases, immediate loading the same day of implant placement is a viable treatment alternative instead of submerging implants or delaying their use for a few months.

In addition, the advantages and limitations of immediate loading in single tooth and partially edentulous cases will be discussed.
