The nonsubmerged osseointegrated dental implant.
Implant patients are seeking means of restoring their health and appearance with minimal side effects. Dental implant surgery must react to these demands by continuing to develop minimally invasive implant surgery techniques, imaging that customizes surgical procedures, and materials and drugs that reduce surgical costs and complications, shorten recovery, and increase the longevity of components, enabling patients to live active lifestyles. Nonsubmerged osseointegrated implants fit nicely into the future of dental surgery.
