Prosthetics on implants

Dental implantation is a critical method for restoring defects in dental arches, bite, and masticatory function, involving the placement of artificial roots into the jaw. This technique, developed over the past five decades, addresses various complex dental issues and has become particularly popular due to its ability to minimize discomfort for patients with partial or complete edentulism. This article explores different types of dental implants, such as endodontic, endosseous, subperiosteal, and submucosal implants, along with the methods of prosthetics on implants, including immediate and delayed prosthetics. Indications for both one-stage and two-stage dental implantation are discussed, highlighting factors like bone density and oral hygiene. [3]A clinical case study is presented, illustrating the application of implant-supported removable prostheses with CAD/CAM technology for virtual planning and guided surgery. The article emphasizes the importance of an individualized approach to treatment, the use of advanced technologies, and preventive care for long-term implant success. Overall, dental implantation continues to be the most physiological approach for replacing missing teeth, ensuring both functional and aesthetic restoration.
