A total of 24 of 712 fixtures exposed at the abutment connection was lost (3%); the continuous prosthesis stability rate was 98.7%, as only four of 293 prostheses were removed. The results of the study indicate the possibility for the Brånemark osseointegration technique also to be used in the treatment of partial edentulism.
