About
A dental implant is a non-natural tooth root substitute and is used in prosthetic dentistry to hold up restorations that look alike a tooth or group of teeth. There are more than a few varieties of dental implants; the most commonly acknowledged and unbeaten is the osseointegrated implant, based on the innovation and breakthrough by Swedish Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark that titanium can be effectively amalgated into bone when osteoblasts grow on and into the rough surface of the implanted titanium.
