[Proposed solution after complications with an immediately loaded implant supported cantilever bridge. A case report]

As an effort to reduce the treatment time in dental implantology, immediate loading has received increasing attention during the past years. The success of early and immediate loading of implants in the interforaminal region is well documented in the dental literature. However, early loading of implants still bears an increased risk. Therefore, strict patient selection is needed. In this case report the rehabilitation of a patient with an immediately loaded implant-supported cantilever fixed partial denture in the mandible is presented. The occurrence of complications few weeks after loading lead to the explantation of two of the five implants. As a consequence, the patient was restored with an implant-retained overdenture.
