title: A statistical analysis of the clinical response to the single-crystal sapphire endosseous dental implant in dog jaws.
abstract: A statistical analysis was carried out on the clinical evaluatory data gathered from a two-year longitudinal study of the single-crystal sapphire endosteal dental implant in dog jaws. Statistically, the implants behaved either better than control molars (clinically), or in a manner similar to control molars. These data suggest an excellent prognosis for the single-crystal sapphire dental implant.
