Authors' objectives:
This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the immediate loading of bone-anchored dental implants, compared with the conventional two-stage method.
Authors' recommendations:
Currently, there is moderate scientific documentation concerning the effects of the method in treating patients with completely edentulous lower jaws. There is poor scientific documentation regarding immediate loading of implants in completely edentulous upper jaws, partial bridges in partially edentulous jaws, or single-tooth implants. In cases other than in completely edentulous lower jaws, the method should be used only within the framework of controlled scientific trials. There is no scientific documentation on the cost effectiveness of the method.
