title: A retrospective survey of patients treated with one-stage (ITI) endosseous implants.
abstract: Reports of the success of treatment using endosseous implants vary, and claims about the usefulness of some implant systems are supported by little hard data. The authors of this report followed the progress of patients who had been implanted with the ITI Bonefit implant system over a period of 5 years. They present the results of their study and give recommendations on how general dental practitioners (GDPs) should be trained to use such implants.
