Dental implantology is the most physiological method to rehabilitate the partial or complete edentulous patients. The success is dependent on the level of integration between the fixture and bone, also known as BIC (bone to implant contact). After implantation the fixture is healing in the bone in a process known as osteointegration in which the primary stability, which is a mechanic stability, is replaced with the secondary stability which occur as a biological connection between the cells and the fixture. If during placement of the implant the clinician can achieve a good primary stability; meaning a tightening force of 35 N/cm it is possible to load the implant with a temporary restoration during the healing process. UVC photofunctionalization has been introduced as a valid method to speed up healing process and achieve a greater BIC. In the case presented the authors are showing the benefits of photofunctionalizing dental implants to improve the stability and outcomes in a full arch with simultaneous extractions, implant placement and loading.

Key words: photofunctionalization, Implantology, Immediate loading, cantilevered from implants, UVC irradiation.
