Terminology for implant prostheses.
The use of systematic terminology for implant prostheses can simplify communication within the scientific community. However, a review of the current literature demonstrates the lack of uniformity in this field. It is the purpose of this manuscript to suggest uniform terminology based on conventional prosthodontic terms that will simplify communication in the profession.
