2. Dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

   The integration of implant and bone can support physical loads for decades without failure. [10]: 103–107 The US has seen an increasing use of dental implants, with usage increasing from 0.7% of patients missing at least one tooth (1999–2000), to 5.7% (2015–2016), and was projected to potentially reach 26% in 2026. [11]

3. Socket preservation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_Preservation

   This loss of bone volume, can cause a denture to be loose, or an inadequate amount of bone width to place an implant. [5] Historically, alveolar preservation was used to provide a base to retain conventional dentures. Advances in osseointegration have expanded the need of the procedure to maintain ridge width and height for dental implant ...

4. Root analogue dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_analogue_dental_implant

   An alternative technique uses a titanium root fused to a zirconia abutment by a sintering process that eliminates any possible microgap (which could cause peri-implantitis, leading to bone loss around the implant). [14] True 'root-form analogue' or 'anatomic' dental implants have been attempted in the past.

5. Sinus lift - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinus_lift

   Overall, this leads to a loss in the volume of bone that is available for implantation of dental implants, which rely on osseointegration (bone integration), to replace missing teeth. The goal of the sinus lift is to graft extra bone into the maxillary sinus so that more bone is available to support a dental implant. [4]

6. Implant failure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implant_failure

   Failure of a dental implant is often related to the failure of the implant to osseointegrate correctly with the bone, or vice versa. [4] A dental implant is considered to be a failure if it is lost, mobile or shows peri-implant (around the implant) bone loss of greater than 1.0 mm in the first year and greater than 0.2 mm a year after. [5]

7. Peri-implantitis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peri-implantitis

   The shape of the alveolar bone in regions of bone loss varies depending on the buccal-lingual length (or cheek-to-tongue length) of the bone. Where this length is greater than the extent of the peri-implantitis, the region of bone loss can take the shape of a crater, with walls of bone surrounding the pathology; [ 4 ] this is the most common ...
