Just prior to the advent of the branemark implant, the Harvard consensus on implantology condemned all maxillary implants. While implant utilization has skyrocketed in the last few years integration of implants in the maxilla is a persistent problem and even the branemark implant enjoys a lower success rate in this bone. These observations underscore the higher failure rate of the maxillary implant and suggest the need for development of a new implant design configuration that would favour long term successful integration despite the attenuated maxillary attributes. Such is the intent of the ostial implant. The basic considerations concerning this device, its bioengineering, experimental performance and clinical trials are discussed elsewhere. The purpose of this paper is to describe clinical prosthodontic applications of this implant system.
