Intraosseous transcutaneous amputation prostheses versus dental implants: A comparison between keratinocyte and gingival epithelial cell adhesion in vitro

Infection is the primary failure modality for transcutaneous implants because the skin breach provides a route for pathogens to enter the body. Intraosseous transcutaneous amputation prostheses (ITAP) are being developed to overcome this problem by creating a seal at the skin-implant interface. Oral...
