When I was taught implants, my professors shunned me from connecting Implants to natural teeth.
However, is this marriage possible? Certain authors say yes and some say nay.
Is there literature available on this? Very few
They say such connection can drastically affect the implant success or rather can cause intrusion of the natural teeth.
How about precision attachments for this purpose when u don have any other options?
Heres an article from Oral and Maxillofacial implants 2010 current issue which i thought would be worth sharing!
Download and get enlightened!
I would also love to see expert opinion on this controversy! Inviting Perio, Prostho and Implant Practitioners!
