ResumoEndosseous titanium implants have been used successfully to treat patients with varying degrees of edentulism. Researchers have documented the biologic factors related to the routine success in achieving osseointegration of endosseous implants. Osseointegration encompasses the placement of titanium implants into bone using a precise surgical protocol, unloaded healing, and subsequent loading with dental prostheses. Osseointegration has been identified as a direct bond or attachment of an implant to bone without a connective tissue interface between the implant and bone. 1 Albrektsson T.
