Oral Implantology Scholarly Peer-review Journal

Implantology is the branch of dentistry dedicated to dental implants. The dental implant is a root of the artificial tooth which is inserted into the maxillary bone (maxilla or mandible). It often takes the shape of a screw made up of titanium or titanium alloy. The specialists who place the implants are periodontists or oral and maxillofacial surgeons, also called oral surgeons. Specialists who place crowns, bridges and prostheses on implants are called prosthetists. Dental implants are surgically placed in the maxillary bone, where they serve as roots of the missing teeth. Since the titanium in the implants melts with the maxillary bone, the implants do not slip, make noise or cause damage to the bones as fixed bridges or prostheses could do.
