2. Dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

   A dental implant (also known as an endosseous implant or fixture) is a prosthesis that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, or facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor. The basis for modern dental implants is a biological process called osseointegration, in ...

3. All-on-4 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-on-4

   The implant is placed in front of the maxillary sinus in the upper jaw , and in front of the mental nerve in the lower jaw . The head of the implant emerges in approximately the second premolar position. This will allow a molar tooth to be cantilevered posterior, resulting in a denture or bridge with approximately twelve teeth.

4. Complete dentures - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_dentures

   A complete denture (also known as a full denture, false teeth or plate) is a removable appliance used when all teeth within a jaw have been lost and need to be prosthetically replaced. In contrast to a partial denture , a complete denture is constructed when there are no more teeth left in an arch; hence, it is an exclusively tissue-supported ...

[edit on Wikidata] The alveolar process (/ ælˈviːələr, ˌælviˈoʊlər, ˈælviələr /) [1] is the portion of bone containing the tooth sockets on the jaw bones (in humans, the maxilla and the mandible). The alveolar process is covered by gums within the mouth, terminating roughly along the ...

6. Osseointegration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osseointegration

   Osseointegration (from Latin osseus "bony" and integrare "to make whole") is the direct structural and functional connection between living bone and the surface of a load-bearing artificial implant ("load-bearing" as defined by Albrektsson et al. in 1981). A more recent definition (by Schroeder et al.) defines osseointegration as "functional ...

7. Root analogue dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_analogue_dental_implant

   A root-analogue dental implant (RAI) – also known as a truly anatomic dental implant, or an anatomical/custom implant – is a medical device to replace one or more roots of a single tooth immediately after extraction. [1] In contrast to common titanium screw type implants, these implants are custom-made to exactly match the extraction socket ...
