Abstract: | While the original Br?nemark implant protocol has continued to evolve, the avoidance of implant loading during osseointegration remains a prerequisite with all implant systems. Immediately loaded transitional implants have recently been developed to support the fabrication of a fixed provisional prosthesis that provides implant patients with improved aesthetics and function during the osseointegration period. In this manner, osseointegration can occur free from prosthetic and transmucosal loads. This article describes the use of transitional implants and presents a classification of three different case types. |
