title: [Recommendations in oral implantology].
abstract: Oral implantology is a fast growing and dynamic specialization. An increasing number of dental professionals are carrying out oral implant treatments. Recommendations for oral implant treatments are needed to improve and manage treatment quality. In this article recommendations are proposed for 4 oral implant and superstructure indications in patients without complicating factors. The 4 oral implant indications are a mandibular complete overdenture, a maxillary complete overdenture, a single crown in the maxillary aesthetic region, and crowns and fixed partial dentures in the non-aesthetic region. The recommendations are also related to diagnostics and aftercare.
