title: Implants for single first molar replacement: important treatment concerns.
abstract: The success rates of implants placed in the posterior region of both jaws are less than the anterior segments. Anatomic features, mastication dynamics, and adequate implant selection are all significant for long-term prognosis in the molar region. This article discusses important aspects in planning the use of dental implants in the areas of first molars.
