Dentists and scientists have for a long time been researching materials and techniques for providing predictable, efficient and effective methods of restoring a depleted dentition, and they have employed considerable clinical skills in an effort to cope with the consequences of partial and/or complete edentulism. These consequences are related mainly to partial or total deficits in one or both jaws. As a result, clinical ingenuity has led to many treatment successes, with prostheses supported by varying degrees of residual periodontium and/or alveolar bone. The notion of an analogue for a periodontal ligament attachment with predictable long-term success, has of necessity intrigued clinical researchers for several decades. Amongst the most versatile of these are osseointegrated Implants.
