Implants
Implant screw loosening
Implant screw loosening is a mechanical problem in which a screw securing an abutment or prosthesis loses tightness and the connected components move.
Implants
Peri-implant mucositis
Peri-implant mucositis is inflammation of the soft tissues around an implant without progressive supporting bone loss caused by inflammation.
Implants
Peri-implantitis
Peri-implantitis is a disease involving inflammation of soft tissues around an implant and loss of the bone supporting it.
Implants
Implant maintenance
Implant maintenance combines daily cleaning and regular professional checks to identify and manage surrounding tissue inflammation and problems with the prosthesis or connectors.
Implants
Implant failure
Implant failure means that the body has not formed a stable connection with bone or has lost existing support, making continued implant function difficult.
Implants
Implant fracture
Implant fracture is breakage of a component such as the implant body or connecting screw. Treatment depends on the fracture location.
Implants
Implant-related nerve injury
Implant-related nerve injury is a complication in which implant placement or changes in surrounding tissues affect nerve function, causing reduced sensation, tingling, pain, or other symptoms.
Implants
Implant insertion torque
Implant insertion torque is the rotational force needed to turn an implant body into bone and is one source of information about initial mechanical fixation at placement.
Implants
Implant stability quotient
The implant stability quotient (ISQ) is an index that indirectly assesses implant stability through resonance frequency analysis.
Implants
Immediate implant placement
Immediate implant placement places an implant into an extraction site at the same appointment when the tooth is removed.
Implants
Immediate loading
Immediate loading connects a prosthesis and applies functional forces early after implant placement, typically before one week has passed.
Implants
Surgical guide
An implant surgical guide helps transfer the planned implant position and direction, based on imaging and the prosthetic plan, to the actual surgery.
Implants
Flapless implant surgery
Flapless implant surgery places an implant through limited access without creating a broadly incised and reflected gum flap.
Implants
Overdenture
An overdenture is a removable denture that covers remaining teeth, roots, or implants to gain support or retention.
Implants
Autogenous bone graft
An autogenous bone graft transfers bone harvested from another part of the patient’s own body to a deficient treatment site.
Implants
Xenogeneic bone graft
Xenogeneic bone grafting uses processed bone-derived material from a nonhuman animal to augment a deficient bone site.
Implants
Alloplastic bone graft
Alloplastic bone grafting places manufactured bone-substitute material in a deficient area to provide a supporting structure for new bone growth.
Implants
Barrier membrane
A barrier membrane limits early entry of soft tissues into a regeneration space and protects the necessary space during bone grafting or tissue regeneration.
