[A new form of endosseous titanium hemi- implantation and study suggestions aiming at physiological healing]

Bearing in mind the favourable force distribution of the hitherto currently used blade implants and allowing for the Second Symposium on Maxillofacial Surgery at Warnemünde in 1976, the authors devised a technique in which a titanium implant is placed. This procedure promises in the main three advantages: 1. No wedging action on the bone during operation and during mastication. 2. Better force distribution. 3. The mucosa-periosteum suture no longer coincides with the bone groove required for implantation. Furthermore, the authors deal with techniques for coating the titanium angle implant to achieve biological healing.
