(The true definition of immediate load)

Introduction
The Sargon Immediate Load Implant was the first (1991) root form implant approved by the FDA specifically for the purpose of immediate loading. A patented apical expansion design prevents micromotion of the implant allowing it to be loaded in full function at the time of implant placement while Osseointegration occurs.  The implant is particularly well suited for placement and loading in extraction sockets.

Previously, due to material inadequacies we were making provisional crowns at the time of implant placement.  Now, because of improved hybrid porcelain materials such as Estenia (Kurrary) we are able to provide the definitive crown in full function at time of implant placement.  Studies have demonstrated an overall 96% success rate of the Sargon Implant. That success rate is improving by advances in socket decontamination and soft tissue management techniques such as the use of ultra speed CO2 laser by Deka. Also, in addition to our external hex implant our new line of products includes a wide platform, self tapping internal connection implant designed to make easy work of implant placement, soft tissue management and final prosthetics. The proven apical expansion portion remains the same. This new addition is designed to help you and your patient reach your goals more quickly and efficiently with the best results possible.

Our company coined the term immediate load to mean full function at a time when other implant companies entirely rejected the possibility of immediate implant placement and loading. Now, the implant industry tries to redefine immediate loading to mean provisionalization with minimal occlusion and patient instructions not to function for significant periods of time. Also, their immediate provisionalization criteria for single tooth replacement contain exclusion criteria that only allow 25% of patients to be candidates for treatment. In a two year study conducted at the Sargon Institute 46 patients were consecutively treated with 50 implants which were restored with the definitive crown in a single visit. This study demonstrated a 98.0% success with this technique. 

Our goal at the Sargon Dental Institute is to make implant surgery and prosthetics practical, efficient, predictable and less time consuming for the general practitioner, specialist and patient.
