Evolution of Complete Arch Fixed Rehabilitation with Implants

A dental implant is a surgical component that connects with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown bridge denture facial prosthesis or to serve as an orthodontic anchor. The biological process of osseointegration in which substances like titanium develop a close link with bone is the foundation for contemporary dental implants. A dental prosthetic is added after the implant fixture has been positioned so that it is likely to osseointegrated. Before either the dental prosthetic (a tooth bridge or denture) is linked to the implant or an abutment is placed that will hold a dental prosthetic/crown osseointegration must have had a varying period of healing time.
