title: A fixed prosthodontic technique for mandibular osseointegrated titanium implants.
abstract: A detailed technique has been presented for the fabrication of a fixed prosthesis supported by osseointegrated titanium implants. The fixed prosthodontic technique is based on the original Swedish procedure. Several new dental products have been added, and some refinements in technique have been made in an effort to consistently produce a fixed prosthesis that fits, functions, and satisfies today's esthetically conscious patient. Branemark's tissue-integrated prosthesis (TIP, Bofors Nobelpharma, Inc.) is the only dental implant system with two decades of high-quality longitudinal clinical experience. A fixed prosthesis supported by osseointegrated implants offers a treatment modality that is predictably successful (Fig. 21).
