Purpose: Over the last decade, oral implantology has become a major treatment modality to aid the restoration of reduced dentitions. The present study monitored and quantified changes within a 5-year interval (1989-1991 [denoted as 1990*] to 1995) in the provision of different types of implant-supported superstructures and characteristics of recipient patients at the Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam (ACTA).

Data of interest were retrieved retrospectively, compared, and statistically analyzed using Chi-squared tests. Results: A number of statistically significant differences was apparent between these 2 periods. By 1995 there was a threefold increase in both the number of patients and the number of implants placed per year. The patient group of
