[Titanium implants of Brånemark type for oral rehabilitation of partially edentulous patients].

Abstract

This paper describes the principles for different types of partial reconstructions using tissue integrated titanium fixtures, according to the Brånemark technique, as abutments for fixed bridges. The implant-supported bridges can be designed either in separate units (Type I) or integrated into tooth-supported reconstructions (Type IIA and Type IIB). The different designs of the fixed bridge-work are illustrated by a number of patient presentations.
