Abstract

Computer-aided dental implant planning increases the success and predictability of replacing missing teeth in fully and partially edentulous cases. Immediate loading techniques have raised the issue of dealing with it even in severe bone atrophy, in which the situations are characterized by numerous technical difficulties. It is known that each implant immediately loaded must be protected from excessive micro-movements, which can be deleterious in the healing phase and negatively influence the reparative processes of bone remodeling in the first weeks. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate a protocol for immediate loading with a one-piece implant with integrated MUA and computer-aided planning. The study involved 20 patients with 160 implants that were immediately solidified with a provisional prosthesis without reinforcement, made immediately after the surgery. Each patient received eight Uniko implants per arch. All implants subjected to immediate loading have resulted in a success rate of 100% over the 36 months that have occurred without fracture of the provisional. This technique, supported by computer-assisted design, has allowed the implementation of immediate loading in full edentulous patients.
