Abstract:
The osseo-integrated dental implant programme started at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg in 1985. This retrospective study describes the experience gained in the Division of Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery and the Department of Prosthetic Dentistry with the Brånemark implant system. The numbers of fixtures placed, the types of prostheses prescribed and the surgical and prosthodontic successes and problems are described. The results of implant treatment have improved, and follow a marked learning curve.
