Implant treatment in different locations pose different demands for function and esthetics. This presentation summarized the clinical and scientific evidence of single implants with different types of implant placement and loading protocol in different locations, providing an evidence basis for clinical selection. Learning Objectives： 1. To understand the importance that both the implant placement and loading protocol should be included in the treatment planning prior to tooth extraction. 2. To understand that implant placement and loading protocol was influenced by the recipient site location, which presents different functional requirements, different local anatomy, different treatment complexity and different level of scientific evidence. 3. To understand which placement and loading protocol may be at risk to restore a missing single tooth and should be performed with caution due to the limited evidence support.
