title: Experience with ITI osseointegrated implants at five centres in the UK.
abstract: Experience with the two-part ITI titanium implant system at five centres in the UK is reported. A total of 461 implants were inserted in 176 patients, who received 189 prostheses. Criteria for the assessment of success following implantation are listed. Results over a 3-year period showed a success rate of 94% when implants were used for mandibular overdentures and crown and bridge prosthetics. A lower success rate in the edentulous maxilla was recorded.
