- Abstract
The article discusses a therapeutic concept for immediate loading of implants. It describes extraction of remaining tooth structures, simultaneous implant placement in the anterior maxilla, posterior ridge and sinus augmentation, and insertion of fixed provisional restorations in one day. Positioning screws are utilized as fixed reference points during all diagnostic and surgical phases of implant therapy. It is noted that the dental technician fabricates a provisional restoration in advance that can be finished and inserted within hours after surgery. Major advantages of this concept are patient comfort, fewer surgeries, and improved final results.
