When using modern dental implants, conventional and early loading protocols are both well-documented and predictable. Interdisciplinary teams may choose a longer healing period in sites that are compromised or in patients in which healing is expected to be altered. Immediate loading in partially edentulous patients is possible in select cases, but the evidence for successful outcomes is less extensive. Many patients are eager to have their treatment completed as rapidly as possible. Individual dentists and interdisciplinary teams are reminded that immediate loading has increased risk of implant failure and should be used in esthetically critical areas only after careful consideration of the benefits, risks and alternatives. Present review article discussed about loading protocols in implant dentistry.
