RESUMO
The ability to predictably achieve long-term osseointegration in patients with compromised anatomical resources has been demonstrated numerous times in modern oral implantology. Recently, clinical attention has focused on new methods of reducing treatment time. One-stage surgical procedures and immediate loading of implants at the time of placement are two techniques that have demonstrated promising clinical results. A prospective clinical study of immediately splinting and loading a new, one-stage implant is currently in progress in the United States and France. An overview of the implant design and presentation of one case study from the University of Pittsburgh demonstrates how this promising technique is performed.

Intra-oral and extra-oral prosthetic restorations of acquired and developmental defects (oral, para-oral, and facial) have had a fundamental problem of inadequate stability and retention of the prostheses. Application of osseointegration in maxillofacial prosthetic reconstruction followed the positive results obtained by using osseointegrated implants for retaining and supporting maxillary and mandibular dental prostheses. The two case presentations are illustrative examples of the clinical application of osseointegrated implants for maxillofacial reconstructive prosthetic procedures.
