A dental implant is an artificial tooth root
replacement and is used in prosthetic dentistry
to support restorations that resemble a tooth
or group of teeth. There are several types of
dental implants. The major classifications are
divided into osseointegrated implant and the
fibrointegrated implant. Earlier implants, such
as the subperiosteal implant and the blade
implant were usually fibrointegrated. The most
widely accepted and successful implant today
is the osseointegrated implant, based on the
discovery by Swedish Professor Per-Ingvar
Brånemark that titanium can be successfully
fused into bone when osteoblasts grow on
and into the rough surface of the implanted
titanium. This forms a structural and functional
connection between the living bone and the
implant. A variation on the implant procedure
is the implant-supported bridge, or
implant-supported denture.
