Opportunities and perspectives of tooth-implant connectionfor replacement of defects ofdentition (literature review)
There are lots ofopposite opinions in the published literature on the issue of tooth-implant connection, because of physiologictooth mobility.Tooth-implant connectionin fixed prostheses is well observed in the dental literature, but rarely trustworthy data about teeth-implant supported removable dentures is highlighted, and almost all of the information is presented by numerous clinical observations frommedical practice. The modern concept of using implant-supported removable dentures in strategically important aspects combines several goals: contributes to the preservation of the remaining teeth, improves the functional quality of the denture,its fixation, stabilization andprevents premature atrophy of underlying tissues. This review presents the results of the up to date studies of the tooth-implant connection in both removable and fixed dentures, the percentage of implant survival and possible complications.
