Abstract
Over the last few decades, implant dentistry has gone through many revolutionary
changes. New technologies led to the development of stronger implant materials and to surface treatments that could improve the healing process, facilitate osseointegration and thus increase the treatment predictability and reduce the overall treatment time. On the other hand, immediate implant protocols that have revolutionized implant dentistry, have become more popular, and are validated as safe and acceptable treatment modalities.
A vast body of scientific evidence confirmed that implant primary stability plays a crucial role in the decision-making process for an implant to be immediately loaded. As the technique evolved,
