title: [Long-term experience in endosseous endodontic implantation].
abstract: The results of 9 years experience with transfixed abutment-teeth for bar-joint dentures in the lower jaw were collected. The method has been slightly altered since the beginning, and these changes are described in order to complete earlier publications: there are special chapters dealing with the implant-material Syntacoben, which is used in human and veterinary medecine mainly, and with the transfixation technique. By measuring the tooth mobility over a period of 20 months in a group of subjects, one has shown that the stabilisation (4.5 +/- 1.0.10(-2) mm) of loosened lower anterior abutment teeth combined with a bar-joint denture is lasting, even under masticatory pressure. The long-term results (mean wearing-time is 5.5 years) are gathered in a summarized survey. In 62 patients with 100 transfixed abutment-teeth (making a total of 159 abutment-teeth) there was a success of 62%, 15% partial success, and 23% failure. 5 success-cases are also radiologically shown. Within strict indications, transfixation can be recommended today to the practitioner.
