The implant-supported single-tooth restoration. Preoperative evaluation and clinical procedure

Dent Clin North Am. 1993 Jul;37(3):497-511.

Abstract

The implant-supported restoration is a relatively new and promising treatment modality. The CeraOne system offers a complete set of easy-to-use prosthetic components plus the all-ceramic and ceramometal restorative alternatives. No clinical signs of loosening have been reported since the adjunct of a torque controller that provides a tightening force of 32 Ncm to the abutment gold fixation screw. Even with these developments, however, a meticulous presurgical evaluation of the periodontium and careful fixture placement are still imperative for a successful esthetic and functional result.
