The aim of immediate loading is to provide the patient with rapid restoration of function, both masticatory and aesthetic within 72 hours of placement
Above all, this technique requires good primary stability of implants and an implant support which is fixed, rigid and passive using a temporary prosthesis that acts as an external fixative.
For aesthetic cases, the temporary prosthesis may also have a role in guiding soft tissue. Immediate loading is a protocol which enables the duration of treatment to be reduced and enables the patient to avoid temporary prosthetic solutions which are uncomfortable due to their mobility, without compromising the rate of implant survival.
