title: Implantology for general practitioners.
abstract: The following is a case report involving the use of implants designed for use by general dental practitioners. Implantology has advanced to the point that it can no longer be ignored by anyone. Most of us as general dentists avoid implantology, owing to the inherent complexity and cost current systems. Changes must be made to implant designs which will allow general dentists to accomplish all aspects of conservative implant treatment. The implants employed in this case permitted prosthetic treatment similar to that performed on endodontically treated teeth, an approach most general dentists understand.
