2. Introduction to Implants Flashcards
dental implant (definition)
prosthetic device or alloplastic material implanted into the oral tissues beneath the mucosal and / or periosteal layer, and / or within the bone to provide retention and support for a fixed or removable prosthesis
what stimulates bone resorption?
lack of PDL
is bone resorption faster in the max or mandible?
mandible (4x)
height or width first? (bone resorption)
width then height
maxilla resorbs ____ and ____
upward and inward
mandible resorbs ____ and ____
downward and outward
jaw discrepancies with bone resorption tend towards ____ skeletal relationship
class III
the patient with an implant supported fixed prosthesis can exert a similar force to that of a patient with ____
fixed restorations on teeth
eposteal (subperiosteal) implant
on / around bone
metal framework attaches on top of the jaw bone but underneath the gumt issue
transosteal implant
through bone (top and bottom)
metal pin or a u-shaped frame that passes through the jawbone and gum tissue into the mouth
endosteal implant
into bone
implant fixture
screw
alloplastic material or device surgically placed into oral tissues underneath the mucosal or periosteal layer or within the bone for functional therapeutic or esthetic purposes
transgingival abutment
seat for implant crown
connection above neck of the implant used to provide support and / or retain any fixed or removable dental prosthesis
dental prosthesis
implant crown
fixed or removable, provisional, or definitive
cover screw
used to seal the dental implant body during healing phase after surgical placement
healing abutment
limited time, assist in healing or modification of the adjacent tissues
cover screw vs healing abutment
cover screw - usually short, submerged under soft tissue during healing phase
healing screw - taller, exposed in oral cavity during healing phase
