Immediately loaded implant restorations in the edentulous mandible

Overview
1. Preoperative planning and template fabrication
2. Implantation technique for the edentulous lower jaw
3. Intraoperative insertion of connecting bar
4. Postoperative construction of a fixed implant-borne prosthesis
5. Insertion of the fixed dental prosthesis on the three implants on the day of surgery

This contribution describes the insertion of three screw-type endosseous implants and the fabrication of a fixed dental prosthesis for immediate postoperative loading in the edentulous lower jaw.
A thorough description of the indications for implantation, the foundations of planning, and the fabrication of various surgical templates to be utilized as planning aids is followed by a demonstration of the technique for preparation and implantation of three screw-type endosseous implants in an edentulous lower jaw. Selection of the implant site for immediate postoperative insertion of the connecting bar is illustrated in detail. The production of a fixed dental prosthesis for immediate postoperative loading is also shown comprehensively and in detail. At the end, the video demonstrates how to test the functional efficiency of the dental prosthesis by evaluating masticatory function under stress.
