Abstract:
The long-term success of osseointegrated implants depends on the health and integrity of surrounding peri-implant tissues. Proper maintenance around the implants is critical, but may be difficult for some patients. An implant system that allows for the replacement of the intramobile element and cleaning or replacement of the transmucosal implant extension may provide a method of ensuring reliable periodontal health.
