Incorporating retrievability in fixed implant-supported prostheses by transverse fixation in the ITI abutment system.
This article describes the use of the ITI implant system in rehabilitation of the maxillary anterior sextant of a 41-year-old patient. The Syn-Octa TS abutment system was used in this case, along with a customized transfer aid for intraoral positioning of these elements. This system offers the advantage of retrievability of the prosthesis in multiunit cases.
