    Abstract

    A specially designed, TiO2-blasted titanium fixture, partially conical and microthreaded, the Astra Tech Fixture ST, was used for rehabilitation of partial edentulism in the posterior mandible. Superior to the mandibular canal 25 fixtures were placed in 10 patients. Fixed metal-ceramic bridges were then performed. After 1-year follow-up, all bridges were found to be clinically stable. The implant survival rate was 100% and the mean marginal bone resorption was 0.05 +/- 0.11 mm.
