Dental Implant
Dental Implant is used to support restorations like crowns, fixed bridges, hybrid prosthetic dentures and removable overdenture prostheses.
Dental Implants are devices which offer significant stabilizing effect on dental prostheses through a rigid connection to living bone. Implants are designed to provide a direct titanium-to-bone interface – osseointegrated.The system of Branemark and co-workers pionered clinical prosthodontic applications with the use of commercial pure titanium endossous implants.
Two primary objectives of implant therapy
1. succesful osseointegration of implants
2. long term stable restoration
About Dentures
According to Dentures Cost website:
Dentures are also known as dental plate, stay plate, false teeth and gnashers.
Prosthesis is a term used for denture, obturator, fixed partial denture or a crown.
Removable Partial Denture is a prosthesis that replaces some teeth in a partially dentate arch, and can be removed from the mouth and replaced at will.
Fixed Partial Denture is a prosthesis that replaces some teeth in a partially dentate arch, and can not be removed from the mouth nor replaced at will.
Complete Denture is a dental prosthesis that replaces all of the natural dentition and associated structures of the maxilla or mandible. It is entirely supported by tissues – mucous membrane, connective tissues and underlying bone.
Interim Denture / Provisional Denture is a dental prosthesis used for a short time for reasons of esthetics, mastication, occusal support or convenience or for conditioning the patient to accept an artificial substitute for missing natural teeth until a more definite prosthetic dental treatment can be provided.
