The dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is inserted into the jaw instead to secure a tooth or bridge. Dental implants can be an option for people who have lost their teeth due to periodontitis, injury or other reasons. Plates, screws and nails made of titanium material are called implants. The placement of these teeth is called implantation and is approximately the size of the root (8 – 16 mm) and 3.5 – 4 mm in diameter. These implants take over the task of missing teeth.
