Immediate Loading

No. The technique requires primary stability of the implant, that is, sufficient initial anchorage in the bone. This condition is estimated on the CBCT scan and confirmed during surgery by measuring the insertion torque. When it is not achieved, the implant is left unloaded and the prosthesis is fitted after integration.

No. The provisional has an aesthetic function and guides the tissues, but it is made in a material and design that withstand a reduced load. The final prosthesis is made after osseointegration, once the gum has stabilized, and reproduces the shape and color defined together with the patient.

Not immediately. In the first weeks the diet is soft and cold, and the provisional is adjusted to take little load. Chewing is released progressively as healing progresses and at the follow-up visits. This care is part of the protocol: excessive load too early is one of the causes of implant loss.

In some cases, yes. Immediate placement after extraction depends on the integrity of the bony walls of the socket and the absence of active infection in the area. When there is bone loss or an infectious process, the area is treated and placement is postponed. The decision is made with the CBCT scan and confirmed during surgery.
