A dental implant is a prosthesis that connects to the bone of jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis, like crown, bridge, denture, and facial prosthesis. The biological process called osseointegration, in which materials like titanium or zirconia develop an intimate contact with bone, is the foundation of modern dental implants. The health of the person receiving treatment, medicines that impact osseointegration, and the health of the tissues in the mouth play a crucial role in the success or failure of implants. The fundamental use of dental implants is to support dental prosthetics. The risks and problems associated with implant dentistry are divided into three categories. These include complications that arise during the surgery process, complications occurring within six months of the surgery and long-term effects like peri-implantitis and mechanical failures. After the implant procedure, implants must be cleaned with a periodontal scaler for removing any plaque. Different evaluations, techniques and advanced studies on implant dentistry have been included in this book. It will help the readers in keeping pace with the rapid changes in this field.

The branch of medicine that comprises the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity is defined as dentistry. Implant dentistry is a subspecialty within dentistry which is involved in procedures connected to dental implants. These implants are used for supporting the recovery of a missing tooth by installing an artificial tooth root. Osseointegration, a biological process, is the basis of dental implants. The implant fixture is first placed to ensure that it will osseointegrate, and then a dental prosthetic is attached. The position and angle of adjacent teeth helps in determining the position of implants, through lab simulations, or computed tomography with CAD/CAM simulations and surgical guides known as stents. The final prosthetic can be either fixed, where the denture or teeth cannot be removed from the mouth, or removable, where the prosthetic can be removed. An abutment is attached to the implant fixture in both the cases. This book is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the field of implant dentistry. It is a resource guide for experts as well as students.
