ITI implant is one of endosseous implants to which bone can contact directly. This implant is made of titanium(Ti 99.18%)and root part is plasma-splayed with titanium oxide. Besides, this implant is cylindrical in shape and has vents, so the retention forces seem to be great in amount. The author applied ITI implants in maxillae of two patients. Superstructures were fixed to both residual teeth and implant abutments by means of screws and other types of attachments, that is, only operator can remove them when he needs modification and remake or repair. Both cases were middle aged female patients who had mandibular dysfunction which disappeared by occlusal splints made after Dr. Jankelson's theory.These patients became stabler in emotion and are leading happy life at home and social activity.They testimony that they are using implanted sides as main chewing side and the X-ray films suggested this fact by white lines(lamina dura) along residual abutment teeth.
