   Abstract:	The paper presents case presentations from own experience in which a specific implantological system was used. This system differs from other implantological systems. Among other things, it differs in that it has a resilient superconstruction in which a friction system is incorporated. The implant is a cylindrical shape and contains an anti-epithelial membrane which must be placed beneath the level of the bone in order to avoid ingrowing of the epithelium between the bone and the implant. In place of a thread this type of implant has 4 apices which together with the antiepithelial membrane act as primary fixation elements. The resilient superconstruction successfully imitates the periodontal ligament, which in a fixed prosthesis enables connection of the natural teeth with implants by applying resilience of around 20 μ, and in a mobile prosthesis imitation of resilience of the mucous membrane of around 80 μ, and in this way contributes in both cases to correct reduction of masticatory forces, which is the best protection of the implant. Each superconstruction has a friction cap which is fixed into the prosthetic restoration, and with its internal area lies conically on the primary part of the superconstruction, where frictional forces are created of 2200 g, enabling placement of the prosthetic device without cementing. The advantage of such fixing is the possibility of controlling the gingiva and implant beneath the prosthetic device. Thanks to the characteristics of these superconstructions the construction of prosthetic devices on implants is greatly simplified. Taking imprints on these superconstructions is identical to taking imprints on natural ground teeth. The features of this implantation system widen the possibilities for construction of fixed, combined and mobile prosthetic devices.
