In the case in which the bone structure is adequate and the distribution of the implants favorable, there have been no complications during the surgical intervention, it will be possible to move on to the next phase of the placement of provisional crowns or prostheses in the same visit in which The implant itself, as well as its dental sleeve, should be placed.
