2. Dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

   Placement of dental implants is a surgical procedure and carries the normal risks of surgery including infection, excessive bleeding and necrosis of the flap of tissue around the implant. Nearby anatomic structures, such as the inferior alveolar nerve , the maxillary sinus and blood vessels, can also be injured when the osteotomy is created or ...

3. Root analogue dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_analogue_dental_implant

   Root analogue ceramic dental implant in comparison with titanium screw type implant. As technology has improved, so has implant success rate. Conventional titanium dental implants typically have success rates of 90–95% for 10-year follow-up periods, but this is based on questionable definitions of success. [5]

   Technique depicted in 3D video This image shows how Nobel Biocare's All-on-4 solution works. The term All-on-4, also known as All-on-Four [1] and All-in-Four, [2] refers to 'all' teeth being supported 'on four' dental implants, a prosthodontics procedure [3] [4] for total rehabilitation of the edentulous (toothless) patient, or for patients with badly broken down teeth, decayed teeth, or ...

5. Tooth transplant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_transplant

   The use of surgical template has been proposed to minimise extra-alveolar time for the donor tooth. [10] The recipient site is accurately contoured to ensure good blood supply to promote revascularization after tooth transplant. [10] Donor tooth is carefully extracted then placed into the prepared socket and sutured in place. [10]

6. Zygoma implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygoma_Implant

   Because of the sturdy anchorage achievable in the dense bone of the zygomatic region, and the wide stress distribution achieved on these tilted implants, a prosthesis can often be immediately placed at the time of surgery. [6] The zygoma implant is available in lengths ranging from 30 to 52.5 mm.

7. Socket preservation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_Preservation

   Socket preservation or alveolar ridge preservation is a procedure to reduce bone loss after tooth extraction. [1] [2] After tooth extraction, the jaw bone has a natural tendency to become narrow, and lose its original shape because the bone quickly resorbs, resulting in 30–60% loss in bone volume in the first six months.
