Abstract

The earliest possible restoration to achieve proper form and function is a hallmark of all surgical specialties. This principle underlies the concept for immediate loading of dental implants. The concept of immediate loading was applied in the very early stages of dental implants. The failure rate of the earliest trials of dental implants was high and often occurred shortly after attempts at functional loading. In some cases the complications arising from the early loading of dental implants were more severe than the indication for treatment. Despite these setbacks, many of the early attempts at implant placement were functional for long periods and provided the support for functional prostheses. Several factors contributed to the high early failure rates: metallurgic properties of implants had not yet been improved; the dental materials utilized, although proven compatible, lacked the necessary strength to support prosthesis in function; and there was not yet a thorough understanding or the proper surgical and prosthetic techniques necessary for success.
