This article describes the authors' experience in the provision of single-tooth replacement by means of Brånemark implant treatments. Over a 5-year period, 45 treatments have been undertaken with a current fixture retention rate of 100 percent. Careful planning and attention to detail in surgical, prosthodontic, and technical aspects have resulted in an excellent functional and aesthetic treatment with high acceptance by patients.
