Abstract

To determine the success rate of immediately loaded implants placed with high insertion torque.
Materials and methods: In this study, a total of 84 implants placed at high insertion torque in the mandible and immediately functional loaded with provisional prosthesis. Insertion toque, primary stability and secondary stability were recorded.
Results: All implants were osseointegrated under function.
Conclusion: Insertion torque and primary stability are considered the keys of success to immediate functional loading of dental implants.
