A dental implant which is also known as a fixture is a surgical element that interludes with the jaw bone or the skull to support a dental device in the

absence of tooth such as a bridge, crown, denture. The modern dental implant is a biological process wherein materials like ceramic, titanium, etc. are fixed firmly bonded to the bone. The implant fixture is first placed on the empty

portion of the mouth after which a considerable period of time is given for the healing. After the healing period a dental material, a bridge, tooth or a denture is

affixed to the implant which is held by a dental implant. Success or failure of these dental implants depends on the health of the patient who is undergoing this

treatment.

cavities.

leading to bigger health issues.
