Abstract
The mobility of 8 one-piece bridges with osseointegrated implant (ITI K type) and 2 natural teeth abutments were examined by Periotest® (SIEMENS A.G.). The implant of 1 case was removed due to its bad condition after 2 years, but those of 7 other cases were good in clinical findings after about 7 years, and Periotest values (PTVs) were not changed.
Therefore, the significant difference between PTVs of bone remodeling and steady phases is not recognised, and joining of natural teeth and implant is not always contraindicated.
