title: [Clinical observation of implant-natural tooth supported fixed partial denture for replacement of missing teeth in 86 patients].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the result of implant-natural tooth supported fixed partial dentures.
  
  
  METHODS
  Eighty-six patients with moderate or severe alveolar absorption, and/or higher mandibular cannel or lower maxillary sinus underwent dental implant surgery. 3-6 months after operation, the dentition defects were restored with implant-tooth supported fixed partial dentures.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The restorations were evaluated 2 to 3 years after restoration, the success rate was 93.4%.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  If there is some anatomical limitation for dental implants, implant and natural tooth supported fixed partial dentures will be an optimal choice.
