title: [The fixed full bridge on Brånemark-implants. Current developments and procedures in clinical application].
abstract: In the past research in Implantology has been focused on osseointegration. Recently suprastructures get more attention. Users of the Brånemark-system discuss the preference for a fixed full bridge or an overdenture. The advantages and disadvantages are enumerated in this article. The current procedures are discussed and the importance of a wax set-up is emphasized. During the impression procedure the copings are not attached to each other with acrylic. The gold cylinders, on which the suprastructure is attached to the abutments, are not soldered in the metal framework, but connected with acrylic. With the described method better results were obtained.
