This article reports a long-term retrospective study on hydroxyapatite-coated implants, which covers more than 6 years of clinical use. The authors discuss not only cylinder implants, but blade and subperiosteal implants as well. This study reveals that, for the time covered, a definite clinical advantage exists to coating implants with hydroxyapatite.
The press-fit implants can be used in any edentulous area with sufficient width and depth of bone for support. Clinical studies of at least one of the HA-coated systems have shown good results in the placement of the implant in extraction sockets, previous grafted ridges, and in conjunction with both autogeneous and synthetic bone grafts. The surgical placement must not traumatize the soft or hard tissue. The implant must be placed in a stressfree environment during the 3- or 4-month healing period. A variety of prosthetic components are available for both fixed and removable prostheses.

A method has been developed whereby with the aid of computerized tomography, an exact replica of the maxilla or mandible can be fabricated. This method has been utilized to eliminate the surgical bone impression phase of the subperiosteal implant technique. This now allows the reconstruction of the maxilla or mandible with a subperiosteal implant done in one surgical appointment.
