A technique for immediate occlusal implant loading of a completely edentulous mandible: a clinical report.
The protocols described are designed for immediate implant loading of the completely edentulous mandible and to provide the patient with a prosthesis that incorporates structural durability and esthetics in a time efficient manner. Incorporating appropriate diagnostic and surgical procedures, this clinical report describes the use of custom fabricated transparent devices that help the clinician identify implant position, thereby reducing the procedural time and improving the structural durability and esthetics of the immediate prosthesis.
