[Clinical use of osseointegrated two-phase implant systems].

Abstract

The Intramobile Cylinder (IMZ) two-stage osseointegrated implant system is unique. The IMZ implant system incorporates a Derlin, intramobile element (IME) which simulates the periodontal ligament of the natural tooth unit. This shock-absorbing element distributes stress and functional load in a physiological manner so that the semi-edentoulous patient may be reconstructed by splinting to the adjacent natural teeth. This article discusses the IMZ implant system, its surgical insertion and its clinical use.
