summary:
Single-tooth implants have become a predictable treatment option.
Immediate loading of the implants, following the implant insertion, has a number of advantages compared with the conventional loading protocol. A patient is demonstrated who lost a number of teeth due to idiopathic external resorption and who disliked the temporary treatment with a removable denture. The treatment has been described in which immediate loading of implants in the mandible was applied.
