[Type F hollow cylinder implant (I.T.I.)]
Acta Stomatologica Belgica
|October 1, 1989
Summary
The hollow titanium cylinder implant type F demonstrated a 96% success rate in 56 patients over five years. This dental implant offers versatile solutions for single tooth replacement, bridges, and denture stabilization.
Area of Science:
- Dental Implantology
- Biomaterials Science
Background:
- The Type F hollow titanium cylinder implant was developed for dental applications.
- Titanium implants are widely used in reconstructive dentistry due to their biocompatibility.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the Type F hollow titanium cylinder implant.
- To evaluate the clinical performance and success rate of this implant type.
Main Methods:
- 187 Type F hollow titanium cylinder implants were surgically placed in 56 patients.
- Follow-up data was collected from October 1983 to October 1988.
Main Results:
- A total of 187 implants were placed.
- 180 implants (96%) remained functional at the end of the study period.
- 7 implants (4%) were lost due to early failures.
Conclusions:
- The Type F hollow titanium cylinder implant shows a high success rate for various dental applications.
- This implant is suitable for single tooth replacement, as an abutment for bridges, and for stabilizing dentures in cases of severe bone loss.
