The traditional implant protocols have several disadvantages, like extensive treatment time, multiple surgeries, and need to wear a removable restoration, leading to patient inconvenience. Thus, these protocols need to be re-evaluated to pioneer newer techniques that will save time and increase comfort. Immediate loading of oral implants could potentially serve this purpose. The aim of this review is to compare the survival and success rates of immediately loaded single-tooth dental implants with those of conventionally loaded dental implants based on the highest level of evidence obtained from prospective studies and prospective controlled trials. Studies included in this review were identified in the current literature manually and by elec tronic search. Only clinical data on root-form or cylindrical threaded oral implants were included. The assemblage of the current literature shows that controlled studies using several different approaches to immediate loading have demonstrated high implant survival and success rates. However, more highlevel evidence-based studies are desirable to demonstrate the relative merits of immediate loading compared with conventional loading in all potential applications.
