Root form implants for tomorrow.
However, accepting the route of dental implantology's evolution, and with a positive outlook for the future, the author believes that the four types of root form implants described here will be utilized. This belief in their application, has come from vast experience placing thousands of implants into various types of bone. It is now up to those dentists who have become exclusively involved with one type of root form implant to reflect on the ideas expressed in this article, and start to challenge what has been considered the "norm", and consider treating their patients with implants that will most likely prove to be superior in design and function.
