As an alternative to conventional removable dentures, osseointegrated dental implants can now be used in carefully selected edentulous or partially edentulous patients. The implant consists of a dental prosthesis and an anchorage unit made up of screw-connected components. The implantation procedure is performed in two phases: fixture installation and fixture uncovering and abutment connection. After completion of these surgical procedures, the dental prosthesis is fabricated and inserted. Follow-up examinations are scheduled at 1, 3, and 6 months and then annually thereafter. During a 2-year period at the Mayo Clinic, 358 osseointegrated dental fixtures were implanted in 70 patients. The overall success rate in this consecutive series of patients was 98%, and the associated complications were minimal and easily resolved.
