[The single, hollow titanium cylinder implant (I.T.I.)].

In cases of extreme bone loss of the edentulous jaw, nowadays, implants are suitable to create retention and stabilisation for the dentures, next to the wellknown preprosthetic surgical techniques. It is also possible to use this implant as replacement of a single tooth or as abutment for a bridge. The single hollow titanium cylinder implant type F is described. Also the surgical technique for application of this implant is explained. In the period October 1983 till December 1987, 126 implants (39 patients) were placed; eight of them are removed (6%).

Stable fragment fixation in orthognathic surgery: review of 30 cases.

A method of stable fragment fixation in maxillary and mandibular orthognathic surgery is described. In 30 cases, the follow-up was long enough (one to five years) to promote review of the results. As expected, stability and wound healing were excellent. The method is comfortable for the patient, prevents excessive weight loss, and reduces postoperative morbidity and the length of stay in hospital. The incidence of permanent damage to the mandibular alveolar nerve is the same as with conventional fixation methods. Special attention was given to the possible occurrence of TMJ problems that might result from the condylar rotations. Neither clinical or radiographic evidence of TMJ damage could be established. The method of stable fragment fixation can be especially advocated in bimaxillary and edentulous cases and cases prone to osseous relapse.
