Abstract

The current ITI Dental Implant System (Institut Straumann AG Waldenburg, Switzerland) was developed in 1985–1986 on the scientific basis and clinical experience of more than 10 years with earlier ITI implants (F-type Hollow Cylinder,1 TPS, or Swiss screw2). The initial development of these implants was the result of a collaboration between the University of Berne, Switzerland, with Dr. André Schroeder and the Institut Straumann, Waldenburg, Switzerland. Today, the system consists of three different basic shapes: the full-body screw, the hollow screw, and the hollow-cylinder implant (Figure 15.1).3,4 All implants are titanium plasma sprayed (TPS) in their bone-anchoring section, which comes in various lengths. The transmucosal portion is smoothly machined. Although it has been used in Europe and Japan since the mid-1980s, the ITI Dental Implant System was only introduced to the North American market in 1990 (Straumann USA, Cambridge, MA). The descriptions found in the following represent the system with implants and components as they are available in the United States at the time of preparation of this chapter.
