In the last 2 decades, several investigators have reported immediate placement of dental implants into extraction sockets achieving excellent results with a 2-stage surgical procedure. Recently, immediate loading has become an emerging technique as it has been documented to be a successful and a time saving procedure. As regard, few reports are available for the possibility of immediate/early loading of implants placed in fresh extraction sockets. In addition, they are based on limited series with short follow-up. Thus, we decided to perform a retrospective study on a series of postextractive spiral family implants (SFIs).
