A review of educational developments with Brånemark osseointegrated oral implants in Australia and New Zealand 1992-1994. Part I: Treatment data for Australia and New Zealand.
This review should be read in conjunction with the Teams Day Conference review of 1992. This data further emphasises the trend in implant restoration that was becoming apparent at that time. However, the degree to which single tooth implant restorations now dominate clinical implant treatment is unprecedented. There is clear evidence of a progressive increase also in segmental and full arch bridgework, but minimal increase in overdenture restorations. The data also indicates that for the first time the number of males treated was greatest and that the maxilla was more frequently restored. This latter feature is no doubt closely linked with the emphasis given to single tooth restorations. This data, fully supports the inclusion of implant restoration into general and specialist dental practice.
