The earliest possible restoration to achieve proper form and function is a hallmark of all surgical specialties. This principle underlies the concept for immediate loading of dental implants.
The concept of immediate loading was applied in the very early
stages of dental implants. The failure rate of the earliest trials of dental implants was high and often occurred shortly after
attempts at functional loading.
In this lecture Dr. E. Todd Scheyer will discuss how to fabricate a temporary restoration on dental implants.
