Patients who are totally edentulous and who have been doomed to discomfort, pain, and dysfunction because of the inability to use complete dentures have been rehabilitated using various implant systems. Implants should only be considered after exhaustive medical history taking and diagnostic wax-ups. A variety of prosthetic techniques can be employed to restore various forms of edentulism. The Integral Implant System has proven to be a highly successful foundation to restore the patient to optimum function.
