title: Silicoating in resin-metal bonding: restorative implications for osseointegrated implant-bone unison.
abstract: Detailed background information leading to the development of a silicoating technique is presented with its advantages and disadvantages and its role in implant dentistry. The rationale is shown for coining a new acronym "osseointegrated Implant-Bone Unison" with an interest in biomechanical considerations for a prosthodontic restorative scenario. Several clinical cases are presented that involve silicoating and composite restorations.
