The Immediacy Concept

The premise is clear: preserving alveolar bone and soft tissue with immediate protocols is more predictable than rebuilding them once resorption has taken place. The authors set out the principles of immediate loading and of the digital workflow, first reviewing the analogue fundamentals that give them context, and move on to specific clinical situations, from the single tooth to the full arch, with and without bone loss. Systematic surgical planning of maxilla and mandible, chairside analogue conversion of the fixed provisional, the choice of prosthetic materials and the complications, including those of zygomatic implants, are all covered. It closes with clinical cases spanning every type of treatment presented.
