title: The implant in prosthodontics today--a personal viewpoint.
abstract: Implants in prosthodontics have come a long way in the last 15 years. General dental practitioners today perform procedures that were once carried out only by highly trained specialists, and the subject is now taught to undergraduates in some dental schools. Harold Preiskel looks at the current techniques used in implantology and gives advice from his wealth of first-hand experience.
