  • Title: Using transitional implants during the healing phase of implant reconstruction.
    Author: Petrungaro PS, Windmiller N.
    Journal: Gen Dent; 2001; 49(1):46-51. PubMed ID: 12004676.
    Abstract:
    The use of dental implants to reconstruct the fully and partially edentulous jaw has been well-documented in the literature. Simplification of the healing phase with transitional implants is becoming a routine step in the management of the integration period for the patient undergoing implant reconstruction. Restoration and maintenance of vertical dimension with transitional implants in conjunction with implant surgical therapy is an effective method to provide the patient with an immediate and comfortable transitional appliance. This approach facilitates the uneventful reconstruction with the definitive prosthesis.
