Purpose: The aim of this study is to measure the implant stability of temporary loaded Megagen implants placed in anterior maxilla by the resonance frequency method.

Material and method: Case 1: A 20-year-old male patient applied to Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Prosthodontics with the complaint of 21 missing teeth. After intraoral and radiographic evaluation a bone level implant (Megagen AnyOne, Seoul, South Corea) was placed for missing teeth. The implant was loaded with conventional loading protocol. ISQ values were measured before and after placement of provisional restoration.

Case 2: A 26-year-old female patient applied to Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Prosthodontics with the complaint of 21 missing teeth. After intraoral and radiographic evaluation a bone level implant (Megagen AnyRidge, Seoul, South Corea) was placed and loaded with immediately loading protocol. ISQ values was measured after placement of provisional restoration.

Result: In case 1 the ISQ values were measured as 78 before and after placement of provisional restoration. In case 2 the ISQ values were measured as 75 immediately after implant placement. The ISQ value was measured as 80 in the first month measurement following the screwing of provisional restoration.

Conclusion: Immediate loading with provisional restorations are successful tratment options in terms of esthetic and implant stability.
