Immediacy in Implant Therapy

In this module, Dr. Ricardo Mitrani reviews the concept of immediacy in implant therapy. The concept of immediate loading implants is hardly new, it has been around for over 20 years, and thousands of scientific articles support the feasibility of the technique. Nonetheless, there are important precautions that the treating team should agree upon to ensure a smooth and uneventful outcome.
