PROSTHETIC RECONSTRUCTIONS AND REFERRING IMPLANT SURVIVAL IN A POSTGRADUATE PROGRAM: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
5. Conclusions Within the limits of this retrospective study we conclude that a broad variety of fixed and removable implant supported prostheses for partially and completely edentulous patients was identified. Although these data represent learning curves for young graduate students working under supervision, implant survival was successful in a short-term range. Well-structured educational programs in comprehensive implant dentistry
