DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental Implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed
into the jaw for replacement of tooth or
bridge. Dental Implant is an option for people those who have lost their teeth due to periodontal
disease, any injury or some other reasons.
Virtually all dental implants placed today are root-form
endosseous implants, i.e., they appear similar to an actual tooth root (and
thus possess a "root-form") and are placed within the bone (endo-
being the Greek prefix for "in" and osseous referring to "bone").
The bone of the jaw accepts and osseointegrates with the titanium post.
What is osseointegration:
Osseointegration refers to the fusion of the implant surface with the
surrounding bone. Dental implants will fuse with bone, however they lack the
periodontal ligament, so they will feel slightly different than natural teeth
during chewing.
Prior to the advent of root-form endosseous implants, most
implants were either blade endosseous implants, in that the shape of the metal
piece placed within the bone resembled a flat blade, or subperiosteal implants,
in which a framework was constructed to lie upon and was attached with screws
to the exposed bone of the jaws.
Dental implants can be used to support a number of dental prostheses, including crowns, implant-supported bridges or dentures.
