Department of Restorative Dentistry, School of Dentistry, University of Otago, Dunedin.

Over 6 years of the implant programme in the University of Otago School of Dentistry, the rate of use of osseointegrated implants to support or retain a dental prosthesis has increased. This increased use has been most marked in young adults who have required the restoration of a single space in the anterior maxillae. The treatment outcome is unequivocally positive, with an overall fixture retention rate of over 99 percent.

D009520	New Zealand	A group of islands in the southwest Pacific. Its capital is Wellington. It was discovered by the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1642 and circumnavigated by Cook in 1769. Colonized in 1840 by the New Zealand Company, it became a British crown colony in 1840 until 1907 when colonial status was terminated. New Zealand is a partly anglicized form of the original Dutch name Nieuw Zeeland, new sea land, possibly with reference to the Dutch province of Zeeland.
