A dental implant is a medical device used to replace a/the, missing tooth/teeth which in turn helps in function and appearance. It is surgically inserted into the jaw where it fuses with the bone and mimics the root of a natural tooth. This contact and fusion of dental implant surface with the jawbone is called ‘osseointegration’.  This process is of utmost importance as it determines the stability of an implant and its long term clinical success. Dental implants are now considered as a basic form of standard of care for replacing the missing tooth/teeth.
