Treatment planning for tissue integrated prosthesis.
The concept of osseointegration and its clinical application in tissue integrated prosthesis has opened up many new avenues in treatment planning for missing teeth. A protocol for controlling the sequencing of diagnostic steps in the formulation of a treatment plan has been presented. The protocol is applicable to the completely edentulous mouth, the partially edentulous jaw, the missing single tooth and the extra-oral maxillofacial prosthetic case. Use of the protocol will ensure predictable treatment results and minimize the risk of complication and failure.
