Introduction. The aim of this paper was to present prosthodontic aspects of immediate loading of implants in the treatment of maxilla. Prosthetic phase of immediate functional loading of dental implants for rehabilitation of maxilla constitute a complex protocol that include the goal of decrease the risk of occlusal overload that increase the remodelling rate of bone. The dentist must evaluate magnitude, duration and type of forces, especially parafunction and bruxism. Immediate transitional fixed prosthesis may be fabricated by the dentist with a perforated surgical template used for the implant insertion with acrylic material. After, temporary prosthesis is adjusted with the abutment and finally, oclussion is evaluated. Conclusions. This paper indicate that prosthodontic step of treatment of maxilla by immediate loading with osseointegrated implants may constitute a high successful treatment.
