Abstract:
The Brånemark system for implant supported bridges has been carried out in Amsterdam since 1982. One hundred patients with a maxillary conventional full denture and a mandibular fixed tissue-integrated prosthesis were selected for this study. Before and long after the treatment, questionnaires were sent to these patients in order to gain information of their experiences. The treatment had greatly benefitted the patients, in spite of the problem of the loose lower denture in some cases was shifted to the upper jaw.
