The immediate or delayed replacement of teeth by permucosal intra-osseous implants: the Tübingen implant system. Part 2: Surgical and restorative techniques.

The previous paper emphasised the importance of case selection in determining success in the use of the Tübingen implant system. Adherence to strict clinical techniques has an equally important influence on implant success and failure. This paper describes the surgical and restorative techniques involved in the use of the Tübingen implant and comments on the authors' initial experiences with this system.
