IMMEDIATE FUNCTION™

Prerequisites

The Immediate Function procedure with Nobel Biocare implants is clinically proven and the success rates are similar to those of conventional implant protocols. The results from these studies show that Immediate Function is possible in all oral regions and the following should be considered when performing the treatment:

High initial implant stability:
Different bone qualities and quantities and preparation techniques will influence the level of stability. The implants should be well anchored in the surrounding bone and typically installed with a tightening torque of 35-45 Ncm.

Controlled loads:
The treatment planning should identify and reduce potential load factors such as cantilevers, lateral occlusal contacts, unstable dental occlusion and severe bruxism or other pronounced parafunctions. In some situations the occlusal contact may be reduced during the first 2-3 months after implant placement.

Osseoconductive implant surfaces:
The TiUnite™ implant surface has proven to support the healing process and prevent loss of implant stability during healing. Published and ongoing clinical studies show similar performance with the Replace® HA coated surface. Either of these highly osseoconductive surfaces is recommended for Immediate Function.
