Abstract
In 1998 and 1999, the ITI(R) DENTAL IMPLANT SYSTEM underwent its greatest m odification since it came into existence. Prosthetic possibilities with reg ard to implant position transfer and master-cast manufacturing have been co nsiderably enlarged by synOcta(R), surgical instruments have been improved in a multitude of ways and, by introducing SLA, the sand-blasted, large gri t, acid-etched surface for oral implants which shortens time to loading by 50%, the ITI and Straumann have achieved a major breakthrough in surface te chnology.
