title: [The transitional bridge in early implant loading: history, design, installation, perspectives].
abstract: The progress made in implantology since the work of Pr. Branemark has led to the development of early functional implant loading. This satisfies one of our patients' primary goals: restoration of fixed dentition as quickly as possible. This article describes the history, design, installation technique, and perspectives for the transitional prosthesis, the most important component of this early loading concept.
