Early loading with the ITI SLA surface as a predictable, routine procedure.
BACKGROUND
Historically replacement of missing teeth with dental implants often required multiple surgical procedures and long delays between initiating and completing treatment.


METHODS
This case describes accelerated implant restoration of teeth #29 and #30 on a 67-year-old male with a history of bruxism and a failed fixed partial denture. The abutments were connected and final restorations were begun 42 days following implant placement surgery.


CONCLUSIONS
Ideal results following implant placement can be obtained in less than 10 weeks.
