Immediate loading of dental implants on the day of surgery has become a trend in recent years with appropriate clinical indications. Increasing literature support has made this protocol more predictable when proper clinical indications are present. Digital technology has made implant placement, according to the restorative plan, more accurate, which makes the delivery of immediate restoration possible. In-house printing technology and milling solutions are part of the technological developments that also increase the potential of guided surgery to achieve more predictable outcomes for our patients.
At the conclusion of this session, attendees should be able to:
- Recognize restorative aspects of digital implant planning.
- Discuss the impact of restorative planning on surgical cases.
- Demonstrate how to prepare materials for the day of immediate loading during surgery.
