The advancement of dental implants, a more comprehensive understanding of bone biology, and the healing process following tooth extraction, together with the introduction of improved surgical and prosthetic protocols, have established the Type 1a protocol as a clinically and scientifically validated treatment option. This article presents a comprehensive overview of all the details discussed regarding the Type 1a protocol during the 7th ITI Consensus Conference in Lisbon, Portugal in 2023.","references":"
