Background: osseointegration is critical to start prosthetic rehabilitation. Objective: to describe osseointegration of immediate transalveolar implants. Methods: a prospective case series study was conducted from January 2012 to December 2013. It included all patients (75 patients with 79 implants) who attended the Prosthodontics service. Age, sex, osseointegration, cause of tooth loss, region of the implant, specific tooth, bone level and keratinized gingiva around the implant, were the variables studied. Frequency distribution and statistical analysis were used for data analysis. Results: females and patients aged 31 to 45 years predominated. Osseointegration was observed in 97.4% of the implants. Nearly all implants were placed in the premaxilla and posterior maxilla, specifically in the first bicuspids. In most patients, osseointegration with bone formation occurred at the implant collar and in the presence of completely keratinized tissue, with a statistically significant association between the two variables. Conclusion: rehabilitation treatment with this type of implant led to successful osseointegration in most cases studied.
