title: Transversal fixation of restorations in combination with the Octa abutment of the ITI Dental Implant System.
abstract: In aesthetically demanding locations of the dentition, the replacement of a single tooth by means of an oral implant is often difficult because of technical limitations of the abutments systems used. The transversal Fixation System in combination with the Octa abutment of the ITI Dental Implant System presents a novel development to overcome these limitations. The report describes the engineering and design of this technical development.
