title: [Studies on the effects of abutment position on the prognosis of endosseous implants].
abstract: Although the use of osseointegrated Brånemark implants is associated with a high success rate, late losses of primarily osseointegrated implants have been observed again and again. In this study 50 patients were evaluated to clarify the effects of abutment position on late losses. The results have shown that implant position is less important for the loss of implants than other parameters such as healing disorders or poor oral hygiene.
