Abstract
In the last four years, the author inserted over one hundred IMZ cylinder dental implants. They were either hydroxylapatite or pure titanium-coated. These implants are of the “osseointegrated” type, needing a two-phase technique. The clinical aim was to replace single teeth, to build overdentures or partial and full-arch fixed reconstructions.
Prosthetic therapy was carried out by the same person who surgically placed the implants. The original prosthetic method, which utilizes a shock-absorbing cylinder, was replaced by a cast pin abutment in most patients.
Clinical results were very good, because more than 90% of the implants are still functioning well, with minimal bone loss.
