Dental Implant

Dental implant is a surgical devices which replaces the lost roots of tooth to which an artificial tooth or complete denture can be attached. The success of dental implant treatment depends on careful preoperative planning. In order to accurately plan an implant procedure it's essential to obtain information regarding the volume, quality and quantity of the bone at a potential implant site. Several imaging techniques are currently available for presurgical and postsurgical examination. These may vary from simple two-dimensional views such as panoramic radiographs to more complex views in multiple planes depending on the case and experience of the practitioner. Dental implant can preserve the tooth structure because there is no need for preparation of the tooth as in dental bridge which need tooth preparation to receive the bridge and also no need for clasp that seated on the tooth as abutment for retention as in removable appliance.
