Harpreet Kaur, Reena Luthra

Purpose- Dental implants have proven to be a predictable and successful treatment modality which provide optimum esthetics and function even in patients with compromised alveolar ridges which were previously difficult to rehabilitate. Immediate loading of the implant is the outcome of the patients desire to lessen the treatment time. The purpose of this article is to present the outcomes of clinical studies on immediate and early loading protocols and identify their requirements. Methods- English language clinical studies, limited to peer-reviewed journals between 1990 and 2000, were reviewed to identify treatment outcomes with immediate loading protocol using immediate occlusal loading and early loading. Conclusion- Immediate loading protocol has demonstrated high success rates for dental implants. The anterior region of the jaw seems to be associated with a major percentage of satisfactory results, regardless of rehabilitation procedures. Key words: immediate occlusal loading, early loading, implant prosthesis.
