Implant dentistry is a procedure in which the roots of the tooth are
replaced with metal screwlike posts, and missing or damaged teeth are
replaced with artificial teeth that function and look similar to the
real ones. The main benefit of the implants is that they provide support
for the new teeth during bone healing because it requires time for the
bone to heal tightly around the implant. They are surgically placed in
the jawbone so that they can serve as the roots of the missing teeth.
Titanium is present in the implants that fuses with the jawbone and
doesn't let the implant slip. This book is a compilation of chapters
that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of
implant dentistry. It presents this complex subject in the most
comprehensible and easy to understand language. This book attempts to
assist those with a goal of delving into this field.
