I examined a patient this morning and this film shows his  blade implant that
has been functioning for over thirty  years.  The blade implant was done in 1975.
It is solid like a rock  and the patient has never had any problem with it all
these years.  The buccal-lingual width of the crowns are narrow and the bridge
is in very slight occlusion with the maxillary teeth - Barry

The implant looks good, but meanwhile the tooth mesial to the bridge has
been beat to death and is now suffering from Ti deficiency ;-) - Arturo
