ITI hollow-cylinder and hollow-screw implants: prosthodontic management of edentulous patients using overdentures. 1991

Glasgow Dental Hospital and School.

ITI implants, which are transmucosal from the time of placement, require relatively few components or instruments for the procedures involved in prosthetic restoration. The salient features of postsurgical care and management are discussed with respect to treatment of edentulous patients using overdentures retained by retentive anchors and bar attachments.
