title: A variation of the endosseous blade-vent implant.
abstract: This study demonstrates that it is possible to use a section of tooth root to achieve a connective tissue barrier to oral epithelium and oral bacteria. It appears that the reattachment gained is very susceptible to periodontal disease and that small amounts of plaque may be more than the attached tissue can tolerate.
