Diagnosis and Planning in Immediate Loading: Prosthetic Diagnosis
Immediate loading provides functional and esthetic advantages, improving the quality of life of the patient during the osseointegration period. But, clinicians have to know that the three key parameters that should be evaluated for prosthetic planning of the totally edentulous patient are prosthetic space, lip support, and smile line. This is a crucial part of the planning because the prosthetic space, lip support, and smile line determine the type of prosthetic restoration.
Biomechanics and Occlusion in Immediate Loading
In this chapter, biomechanical concepts as tension, types of forces, and static and dynamic loads in oral implantology are explained. Also, biomechanical factors as type of bone, implant design, switching platform, connection type, crown-implant ratio, and passive fit are exposed. So, it is important to know keys for biomechanical control and occlusal pattern. The lowering of tensions is one of our aims when planning cases for immediate loading, since we know the complications they can cause. It is therefore necessary to reduce the incident forces or increase the surface upon which they fall. Increasing the number of implants is the most effective method for improving surface area and reduc…
