The endodontic endosseous implant (EEI) enjoyed wide use in the United States after it was introduced in the 1960's. For various reasons including incorrect case selection, improper use of the materials, and poor preparation for the implant a high number of failures resulted. Following opposition by some members of the dental community, the procedure fell into disuse. The authors of this article had treated a number of cases with the endodontic endosseous implant from 1965 to 1975, many of which did fail. However, we have noted some remarkable very long-term successes with the technique, two of which are presented here. We suggest that the endodontic endosseous implant should not be discarded totally, but, with further research to improve the materials and technique, it still may be used in carefully selected cases.
牙髓骨内种植体(EEI)自20世纪60年代引入美国后曾被广泛使用。由于包括病例选择不当、材料使用不当以及种植体准备不足等各种原因,导致大量失败案例。在牙科界一些成员的反对下,该手术逐渐不再使用。本文作者在1965年至1975年期间用牙髓骨内种植体治疗了许多病例,其中许多确实失败了。然而,我们注意到该技术有一些非常显著的长期成功案例,这里介绍其中两例。我们建议牙髓骨内种植体不应被完全摒弃,但是,随着进一步研究以改进材料和技术,它仍可用于精心挑选的病例。
