What is immediate loading of dental implants?

It is possible to insert extra implants for immediate loading implants with fixed prosthesis, so that the patient enjoys dental prosthesis while initial implants are healing. At the present time, it is necessary to have at least 4 implants in lower jaw and 5 to 8 implants in upper jaw for this reason.

But some of researchers believe that 3 dental implant in lower jaw is enough. It is worth noting that if the dental implant fails in this method, using prosthesis will face many problems. The effects of prosthesis connection on the final results of prosthesis in immediate loading of dental implant in patients without half of teeth or single dental implants are not clear.

Immediate dental implant loading means making prosthesis immediately after inserting the implant. It takes only 3 days to prepare prosthesis. Immediate implant is a considerable treatment but it is necessary to pay attention to all points and factors. The dentist should be sure about a suitable bone quantity and also he/she should evaluate contact type and the number of replaced teeth.

Inserting immediate prosthesis on dental implant is better for patients who have lost all of their teeth rather than replacing 3 or 4 teeth. It is also recommended for patients with removable prosthesis in one jaw.

When dental implant presented by Professor Bernmark for the first time; this treatment process included inserting implant in both jaw bone and covering it by soft tissue. At that time, it was necessary to wait for 8 months for upper jaw and 6 months for lower jaw after inserting dental implant within the bone.

By new developments in dental implant design and manufacture; healing time reduced to half. Recent studies showed that dental implants will integrate with jaw bone without considering to be buried under gum. Therefore, it is not necessary to cover it by soft tissue.

Dental implants developments increased gradually and now, the time between inserting implant and manufacturing final prosthesis is reduced. These days many companies are competing in this field.
