Edentulous patients have to wait after extractions and again after surgical implant placement for healing to occur before the implants can be restored and patients can go back to normal function. This delay in loading of implants can be handicapping for the patient, esthetically and functionally. Hence this project was undertaken with the purpose of reducing this wait period and achieving early rehabilitation in these patients. The aim of the project is to compare immediate loading versus delayed loading of implant supported mandibular dentures.
