Dental restorations using titanium osseointegrated dental implants.
Dental implantology (ie, the science of replacing teeth) has evolved from the use of crude, unstable, natural materials to the use of titanium osseointegrated dental implants and sophisticated prosthetic appliances. Dental prosthetics are used in an increasing number of routine dental restorations. Postoperative patients who have undergone dental restorations using titanium osseointegrated dental implants enjoy results that approximate the look and feel of natural teeth. Optimal patient outcomes are best accomplished through a multidisciplinary team approach, and perioperative goals of patient commitment and compliance are achieved through comprehensive education.
