<jats:p><jats:bold>ABSTRACT– </jats:bold> Total edentulousness can lead to chewing problems as well as to feelings of insecurity and inferiority and considerable psycho‐social problems. For many people a conventional removable denture is unsatisfactory. A new method ‐ osseointegration ‐ involves a titanium screw being operated into the jawbone and the attachment pre‐ and postoperativelv 3 monts and then 2 years after the insertion pre‐ and postoperatively 3 months and then 2 years after the insertion of a jawbone‐anchored bridge.</jats:p><jats:p>The majority of them state that there has been a significant improvement in their lives, that they have regained confidence in themselves, and that, in contrast to a conventional denture, they accept the fixed bridge as part of their body.</jats:p><jats:p>More attention should be focused on psychological reactions to total edentulousness. Individuals who cannot be rehabilitated by means of conventional prosthetic procedures should be given the opportunity of having a jawbone‐anchored bridge inserted. Such treatment means an odontological and psycho‐social restitutio ad integrum.</jats:p>
