PROSTHETIC RECONSTRUCTIONS AND REFERRING IMPLANT SURVIVAL IN A POSTGRADUATE PROGRAM : A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
5 . Conclusions Within the limits of this retrospective study we conclude that a broad variety of fixed and removable implant supported prostheses for partially and completely edentulous patients was identified . Although these data represent learning curves for young graduate students working under supervision , implant survival was successful in a short-term range . Well-structured educational programs in comprehensive implant dentistry
