VANTAGENS DOS IMPLANTES UNITÁRIOS COM CARGA IMEDIATA EM REGIÃO ANTERIOR DE MAXILA: REVISÃO DE LITERATURA

Among the various teeth that can be lost, the front ones are the most relevant in terms of aesthetics, since they represent an individual’s calling card. In this scenario, implantology is one of the main forms of oral rehabilitation in dentistry. Dental implants can be installed with immediate or delayed loading. Immediate loading implants arose from the need for faster results and in situations where aesthetics are the main objective, such as the front region of maxilla, representing a huge technological advance in implantology. The present study aimed to conduct a literature review on the advantages of single immediate loading implants in the front of maxilla. Through a search in the online databases Google Scholar, Pubmed and Scielo, 25 scientific articles were selected to compose the review, divided into the following topics: mediate loading vs. immediate loading; requirements for the application of immediate loading in single implants; immediate loading in the front of maxilla and its advantages; and the success rates. After explaining and discussing the data, it was concluded that single immediate loading implants in the front of maxilla is considered effective, especially due to advantages such as immediate aesthetic restoration and reduced treatment time, benefits considered extremely important by most patients. However, it is important to emphasize that the professional must evaluate each case individually and decide whether the patient is suitable for the technique.
