  • IOL is increasingly considered for restoring the edentulous mandible.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define terminology related to immediate occlusal loading (IOL).
  • To present DIEM Guidelines for enhancing IOL success and predictability.
  • To introduce novel implant components simplifying IOL clinical application.

Main Methods:

  • Review of biological and mechanical factors influencing IOL.
  • Demonstration of DIEM Guidelines for IOL procedures.
