title: The clinical use of ITI transmucosal implants.
abstract: The ITI implant system has a background of research and development of over 15 years. It is distinctive in that the implant fixtures are transmucosal from the time of placement, requiring only a single stage in surgical treatment. In a relatively simplified approach to prosthetic management, standard overdenture components and conventional fixed partial denture techniques are used. In this report the assessment, surgical treatment and post-operative management of patients using ITI Bonefit implants are described and early results from 168 consecutive fixtures placed over a period of 3 years indicated.
