Current trends in implantology: Part 1--Biological response, implant stability, and implant design.
In implant dentistry, the loss of bone is generally caused by infection or trauma but can also be attributed to other involved factors. Innovative surgical techniques and implant components have been developed in an effort to overcome the challenges (eg, bone topography and density, primary and secondary stability, aesthetics) traditionally associated with implant-supported restorations.
