Preface
Immediate loading or function in implant dentistry is a fairly new technique
that allows certain types of patients to have their teeth removed and implants
placed, along with the prosthesis or prostheses, in the same day. Providing
immediate implant loading requires a great deal of previous experience, as well
as advanced knowledge of implant dentistry and significant surgical and
prosthodontic skills. The object of this book is to present the basic ideas
about immediate implant loading and update the surgical, prosthodontic, and
laboratory techniques available. It highlights the “hows,” “whos,” and “whens”
of immediate implant loading and offers a wide variety of solutions for each
situation, allowing the reader to select the one most suited for a given case.
At the present time, immediate implant loading is preferred for fixed mandibular
partial prostheses, mandibular overdentures, single tooth replacement in
anterior areas, and both maxillary and mandibular fixed partial dentures in
anterior areas. This book follows each of these situations from preoperative
evaluation to surgical procedure to postoperative care, emphasizing the
difficulties that may be encountered and their possible solutions. Each chapter
is illustrated with numerous clinical photographs of a variety of case types and
supported by the latest research. A chapter on laboratory considerations
addresses factors that negatively influence the construction of a prosthesis and
provides a variety of solutions for the reader to choose from. The book
concludes with a discussion of the nature of occlusal problems and the various
situations that can pose a challenge to immediate implant function and how to
address them.
Because immediate implant loading requires the cooperation of many different
practitioners, this book also stresses the importance of teamwork in the
achievement of satisfactory results in success rates, function, and esthetics,
all of which are required for success in any treatment employing implants.
