Branemark’s original protocol required 4 to 6 months for implant osseointegration before placement of the definitive prosthesis. Although this approach gave very predictable results, it had certain drawbacks. The main disadvantages of this approach were prolonged treatment time, two surgical procedures, placement of a removable prosthesis that required modifications during the course of treatment, and a greater number of appointments. Immediate implant loading is a viable treatment method for selected cases. One of the greatest advantages of this method is the virtual surgery, which precedes the actual clinical treatment and eliminates any need for last minute decisions. The actual surgery time is decreased, since all steps are predetermined. These advantages aren’t only more useful for normal patients but also for the mental retardation patients whose cooperation is difficult. This article presents a clinical approach made possible due to the guided implant surgery and CAD/CAM technique.
