  • Title: Single, tuberosity-osseointegrated implant support for a tissue-integrated prosthesis.
    Author: Balshi TJ.
    Journal: Int J Periodontics Restorative Dent; 1992; 12(5):345-57. PubMed ID: 1343007.
    Abstract:
    Fixed prosthodontic rehabilitation can be accomplished in partially edentulous patients whose maxillary antrum prohibits successful placement of multiple fixtures. A single posterior fixture is placed in the tuberosity region to support a tissue-integrated prosthesis directly connected to a periodontally sound anterior abutment tooth. The treatment planning considerations and surgical aspects are described, and a case report is used to illustrate the technique.
