The authors propose a standardised approach to immediate implantation and immediate loading. The various chapters will help the practitioner to understand the fundamentals of immediate implantation, the rationale behind immediate loading, the ergonomic benefits of digital workflow, clinical applications in single, multiple and full arch, and finally the future prospects of this digitalisation of implant dentistry.
