The development of the ITI DENTAL IMPLANT SYSTEM. Part 2: 1998-2000: Steps into the next millennium.
In 1998 and 1999, the ITI DENTAL IMPLANT SYSTEM underwent its greatest modification since it came into existence. Prosthetic possibilities with regard to implant position transfer and master-cast manufacturing have been considerably enlarged by synOcta, surgical instruments have been improved in a multitude of ways and, by introducing SLA, the sand-blasted, large grit, acid-etched surface for oral implants which shortens time to loading by 50%, the ITI and Straumann have achieved a major breakthrough in surface technology.
