## Indications for use
The ANKYLOS® Dental Implant System is indicated for surgical placement in the upper and lower jaw arches, to provide a root form means for single or multiple unit prosthetic appliance attachment to restore a patient's chewing function. Implants can be placed with a conventional 2 stage surgical process with an option for transmucosal healing or they can be placed in a single stage surgical process for immediate loading. Immediate loading is restricted to the anterior mandible, based on 4 interforminal placed implants, and not indicated for single, unsplinted implants. Patients must be subject for dental treatment with endosseus implant.
