• Purpose To study the success of immediate loading in partial-arch applications and to evaluate the level of patient satisfaction. Materials and Methods We treated 12 partially edentulous patients, placing 36 implants and rehabilitating them with screw-retained bridges on the same day. The level of satisfaction with the provisional prosthesis was evaluated on a visual analog scale. Results One implant failed during the osteointegration period, yielding a success rate of 97.2%. Of the 12 provisional prostheses, 1 was removed as a result of this loss. The patients' assessment of functional and esthetic levels was high (mean scores on visual analog scale, 7.1 and 8.3, respectively). Conclusion Immediate restoration of teeth in partial-arch applications provides an esthetic and functional solution with a high success rate.
