title: Endodontic endosseous implants: case reports and update of material.
abstract: Two cases are presented with 5-yr follow-ups in which Vitallium endodontic implants were used successfully to improve the crown-root ratio of central incisors compromised by trauma. A review of recent developments in endodontic implant materials and designs indicates that new materials should provide greater biocompatibility and retention.
