DENTAL IMPLANT: - A dental implant is a material or device placed in and/or

on an oral tissues to support an oral prosthesis (GPT – 8)
IMPLANT PARTS:
PROSTHESIS: may be cemented, screwed or swaged
ABUTMENT: serve as attachment between implant post and the actual prosthesis
IMPLANT POST: the endosteal root form
CLASSIFICATION OF
DENTAL IMPLANTS
1. BASED ON IMPLANT DESIGN 2. BASED ON MACROSCOPIC BODY DESIGN

3. BASED ON ATTACHMENT MECHANISM 4. BASED ON THE SURFACE OF THE IMPLANT

5. BASED ON THE TYPE OF MATERIAL

A) METALLIC B) CERAMIC C) POLYMERS & D) OTHERS (Gold, Carbon,

COMPOSITES Tantalum etc.)

a. Hydroxyapatite
a.Titanium and its alloy b. Stainless steel
b. Bioglass

c. Aluminium oxide
