title: Current interpretations of the osseointegrated response: clinical significance.
abstract: The so-called concept of osseointegration demands both histomorphometric as well as clinical descriptions and definitions. The understanding of both of these aspects is still evolving and impacts significantly on the ongoing clinical determinants of success. This paper reviews some of the current clinical concerns regarding the clinical evaluation of osseointegrated implants.
