In modern dentistry, the immediate loading protocol is a type of treatment based on the principle of making the upper structure within a week after the implant treatment. The introduction of the immediate loading procedure has been a turning point in the field of implantology. Because it was previously believed that an unloaded period of implant treatment was necessary to promote bone healing. However, this belief could not be confirmed by clinical studies and histological findings. Numerous reports have been published about immediate loading in various indications on this subject. According to these reports, the primary factor for success is primary implant stability. The second is the use of conical implant designs with apical thread fixation by applying implant socket opening protocols to increase lateral compression of the bone. Although immediate loading has many aesthetic, phonation and psychological advantages on the patient, it also has some disadvantages. It is very important to avoid possible complications such as breakage of the temporary restoration, which is one of these disadvantages. Because this situation can cause local excessive force accumulation and implant failure. Unevenly distributed occlusal contacts may also contribute to failure.
