Dental implant

Dental caries and periodontal disease have historically been considered the most important global oral health burdens.
More recent epidemiological data seem to show an increasing trend of tooth loss due to periodontal reasons rather than
caries; the presence of initial attachment loss, bone height and the habit of smoking significantly increase the risk of tooth
mortality. A dental implant is a titanium screw which is placed into bone to replace missing teeth. The implant mimics the root
of a tooth in function. A key advance in dentistry has been the flourishing replacement of lost natural teeth by osseointegrated
implants and the current and future application of implants to support intra- and extra-oral prostheses is a great implication
in restoring dental health.
