Abstract
Implant and prosthesis success for 77 partially edentulous patients, p rovided with 97 fixed prostheses, supported by 230 Branemark implants, in place for up to 12 years (mean 5.41 years), were documented in thi s study. Implant losses per location mirrored their placement, with Il o difference between zones I and II or between the maxilla and mandibl e. The implant success rate was 94%, and continuous prosthesis stabili ty was 97%. These results indicate that the Branemark implant-supporte d fixed partial prosthesis is a highly efficacious treatment.
