CARGA IMEDIATA EM PRÓTESE TOTAL IMPLANTOSSUPORTADA

Dental implants not only aesthetically restore missing teeth, but also restore patients'
chewing and speaking functions. They are inserted into the oral cavity during surgery performed
under local anesthesia. During this process, osseointegration occurs when blood cells come into
contact with the implant surface.
Immediate loading refers to the placement of a prosthetic element on the implant before
complete osseointegration. This is feasible when there is initial stability between the implant and
the bone during surgery, resulting in surgical success in a shorter period of time, generally less than
3 to 6 months compared to normal bone healing time.
Immediate loading of implant-supported complete dentures has been a revolutionary
approach in oral rehabilitation, allowing patients an almost immediate functional and aesthetic
restoration after the placement of dental implants. This work presents a detailed review of the
immediate loading technique, discussing its theoretical foundations, clinical indications and results
observed in recent clinical studies. Furthermore, the biomechanical and biological considerations
involved are addressed, as well as the challenges and limitations of this technique. Finally, future
perspectives and recommendations for clinical practice based on available evidence are presented,
highlighting the importance of this treatment modality in contemporary dentistry.
