Implant Terminology Flashcards
science and discipline concerned with the diagnosis, design, insertion, restoration, and/or management of alloplastic or autogenous oral structures
oral implantology
to restore the loss of contour, comfort, function, esthetics, speech, and/or health of the partially or completely edentulous patient
oral implantology
branch of implant dentistry concerning the restorative phase
implant prosthodontics
implant place and overall treatment plan component before the placement of dental implants
implant prosthodontics
visible portion of the dental implant
implant prosthesis
can either be a crown for single dental implants while bridge, or implant supported denture for multiple implants
implant prosthesis
portion of the implant designed to be surgically placed
into the bone using advanced computer guided
surgery
implant post/body/screw
where implant post/body/screw extends
slightly above crest of residual ridge
resembles a natural tooth root
implant post/body/screw
portion of the implant that serves to support
and/or retain a prosthesis or implant
superstructure
abutment
a metal framework that fits the implant abutment (or abutments) and
provides retention for the prosthesis
superstructure
example of superstructure
cast bar
3 main abutment categories
- abutment for screw
- abutment for cement
- abutment for attachment
uses a screw to retain the prosthesis or superstructure
abutment for screw
placed over the
abutment between prosthetic appointments
to prevent debris and calculus from entering
the internally threaded portion of the
abutment
hygiene cover screw
uses dental cement to retain the prosthesis or superstructure
abutment for cement
uses an attachment device to retain a removable prosthesis
abutment for attachment
not obtained from patient
allografts
(allograft) synthetic biomaterial
alloplastic
(allograft) organic component
allogenic
biologic or alloplastic biomaterial is inserted into soft or hard tissues of the mouth for functional and cosmetic purposes
oral/dental implant
3 categories of oral implants
- endosteal
- subperiosteal
- transosteal
attaching metal plate at the bottom of the jawbone with screws running through the jawbone and the posts embedded within the gum tissue
transosteal implants
metal frame is placed under the gums with a post attached to it; the gums heal around the frame to hold it in place
subperiosteal implants
