Manual Flashcards
implant component that lies between the implant
and the crown
Abutment
Screw that clamps the abutment onto the implant
Abutment Screw
flat small implants that are inserted into a cut in the
bone
Blade implants
software associated radiographic technique that
produces an exact cross-sectional view of the mandible
or maxilla
Computed tomography (CT)
CT scanner that uses a cone-shaped radiographic
source and a large detector to produce a 3-D
radiographic image(
Cone Beam Computed tomorgraphy (CBCT)
) screw that blocks the implant entrance during the
healing period after surgery
Cover screw
Distance between the implant platform and the
edges of the extraction socket. Used as a reference for
feasibility of immediate implant placement
Critical Space
) subgingival change in shape of the abutment and/or
the crown, between the implant platform and its
emergence from gingival tissues
Emergence profile
implant-to-abutment attachment that sits on top of
the implant platform. Common shape is external
hexagon.
External Connection
temporary abutment that is used in place of a cover
screw after an implant has been inserted and removed
before the restoration is placed
Healing abutment
arbitrary scale of values assigned to various
radiopaque densities when using computed
tomography.
Hounsfield numbers
technique in which implants are restored/loaded at
the time of implant placement
immediate loading
) titanium device placed in bone that replaces the
root of a tooth and enables the attachment of a
prosthesis
Implant
implant-to-abutment attachment placed inside the
implant body, found in internal friction systems.
) Internal connection
system where abutments are retained by friction
against the inner walls of the implant.
Internal friction system
) Irreversible microscopic changes in the metal of
implants and components when an excessive force
applied; often leads to fracture
) Mechanical fatigue
Implants that are exposed to oral cavity on day of
placement
One Stage Implants
attachment of bone to the surface of an implant.
Osseointegration
elevation of the sinus floor via the osteotomy prior
to implant placement
Osteotome technique
progressive bone loss and inflammatory tissue
pathology that results from plaque accumulation and
bacterial infiltration around implants
Peri-implantitis
)reversible condition characterized by gingival
inflammation around implants without evidence of
bone resorption
Mucositis
Flat, mesh-like implants that lie on the osseous
surface
Periosteal implants
clinical procedure in which soft tissue is measured
at several locations of an edentulous ridge in order to
estimate the width of underlying bone architecture
Ridge mapping
Cylinder or screw-shaped implants. Most common
implants used today
Root form implants
