[Indications and technic of transdental fixation].

Transdental fixation, as closed implant, offers the most favourable preconditions of all dental procedures of implantation. Teeth where the root-crown relation is altered to the detriment of root length, which is held firm in bone, can with its help be made functional. Loosening and premature loss of teeth can be prevented. Further discussed is the indication for this procedure, especially in tooth fractures and luxations as well as the operative steps. Up to now transdental fixation has proved itself although the number of cases and the follow-up time are insufficient to allow final judgment.
