Osseointegration for welded and cast prostheses: presentation of two cases

J Oral Implantol. 1996;22(3-4):276-84.

Abstract

The author describes two cases of full dental arches with only a few natural teeth in place that were treated with multi-dimensional, osseointegrated implants. The former case utilized the technique of titanium casting of the caps on natural teeth and on implants, with intra-oral welding of the caps to the implants. In the latter case, the techniques of welding and casting differ.
