  • Title: Case report: restorative maintenance of prostheses stabilised by non-endosseous implants.
    Author: Morrow LA, Smith PW, McCord JF.
    Journal: Eur J Prosthodont Restor Dent; 2000 Jun; 8(2):53-6. PubMed ID: 11307399.
    Abstract:
    For over a century, dentists have looked to dental implants to enhance the stability of dental prostheses. During this time, many approaches and different materials have been used. The purpose of this article is to report on two cases where non-endosseous implant systems were used and to outline how the replacement prostheses were customiZed to comply with the different implant types. Intramucosal inserts and sub-periosteal implants are briefly reviewed in the context of current prosthodontic practise. There are still a small number of patients with clinically acceptable intramucosal and subperiosteal implant retained prostheses, which will continue to need servicing and replacement.
