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.

Dentistry is a discipline of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases and disorders of the oral cavity, oral mucosa, and related structures and tissues. Implant dentistry is the branch of dentistry that includes a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture and facial prosthesis. The primary use of implant dentistry is to support a dental prosthesis. Osseointegration is the biological process behind modern dental implants. In osseointegration, materials like titanium form an intimate bond to the bone. Risks and complications related to implant therapy are excessive bleeding, infection, failure to osseointegrate, peri-implantitis, etc. The health of the person receiving the treatment, health of the tissues in the mouth and the drugs which affect the chances of osseointegration, are some factors on which the success or the failure of the dental implant depends. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of implant dentistry. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. This book is a resource guide for experts as well as students.

Dentistry is a branch of medicine that deals with the study, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the oral cavity. The surgical component which interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull in order to support a dental prosthesis is known as dental implant. Modern dental implants are based on a biological process named as osseointegration. It is used to tightly fuse the bone to the surface of certain materials such as titanium and ceramics. The success of the dental implant depends on the health of the person who is receiving the treatment and the health of the tissues in the mouth. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of clinical dentistry. The topics included herien on implants are of utmost significance and bound to provide incredible insights to readers. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.

A surgical process that supports a dental prosthesis such as bridge, crown and denture, by interfacing with the bone of jaw and skull is known as implant dentistry. The most common procedure in implant dentistry is osseointegration. In this process, the materials such as titanium are used to make an intimate bond to the bone. The complications related to the dental implants occur during the process of surgery such as bleeding and nerve injury. Complications such as infection and failure to osseointegrate, can also occur after the surgery. For the success of osseointegration, sufficient amount of healing time is necessary before the dental prosthetic is attached to the implant. This book outlines the processes and applications of modern implant dentistry in detail. It is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in this field. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets students and professionals.
