Methodology Four bicortical screws were implanted into the frontal part of the mandible and one implant on each side was placed into the distal area of the mandible as a support for a fixing bridge. Results During the years 2002–2007 the authors placed a total of 256 bicortical screw and 84 blade implants. During this period only four bicortical screws and one blade implant failed. The primary and secondary surgical success rate was therefore above 98%, while the prosthetic success rate was 100%. （Bridges which had to be re-fabricated due to implant failure were not taken into account.） Conclusion This approach is recommended as a highly successful and affordable option for a wide range of patients.展开更多

The storm within the conference was to deliver three things： launching the second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol： closing negotiations on the Bali roadmap or the Ad-hoc Working Group on Long-term Cooperative Action： and beginning work on a new global regime that is applicable to all countries.展开更多
