2. Dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

   Alveolar bone resorption is a common side effect of tooth removal (extraction) due to severe tooth decay, trauma, or infection that limits dental implant placement. Surgical bone augmentation is associated with limitations such as high cost, bone graft rejection or failure, pain, infection, and the addition of 6–12 months to the treatment ...

3. Bone grafting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_grafting

   The most common use of bone grafting is in the application of dental implants to restore the edentulous area of a missing tooth. Dental implants require bones underneath them for support and proper integration into the mouth. As mentioned earlier bone grafts come in various forms such as autologous (from the same person), Allograft, Xenograft ...

4. Guided bone and tissue regeneration (dentistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guided_bone_and_tissue...

   At present, guided bone regeneration is predominantly applied in the oral cavity to support new hard tissue growth on an alveolar ridge to allow stable placement of dental implants. When bone grafting is used in conjunction with sound surgical technique, guided bone regeneration is a reliable and validated procedure.

5. Osseointegration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osseointegration

   [27] [28] In studies done using "Mini dental implants," it was noted that the absence of micromotion at the bone-implant interface was needed to enable proper osseointegration. [29] It was also noted that there is a critical threshold of micromotion above which a fibrous encapsulation process occurs, rather than osseointegration. [30]

6. 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]

7. All-on-4 - Wikipedia

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

   Often, tooth loss is accompanied by loss of the jaw bone, which poses the problem of reconstruction of the jaw bone requiring bone grafting. The All-on-4 technique takes advantage of the dense bone that remains in the front part of the jaws, and by placing the two posterior implants on an angle to avoid the sinus cavities in the upper jaw and ...
