Dental Implant Techniques and Outcomes

Publisher Summary Surgical implant standards within the United States are based on consensus organizations with the American Society for Testing and Materials CommitteeF-4(ASTMF-4) representing most implant devices. Manufacturers often use standards as guidelines in making and testing their materials and devices. Manufacturers also cite standards in their sales literature as a concise way of describing their product. By using materials that conform to standards, a manufacturer can tell the user what is in the material and what to expect from it in terms of properties. In the biomaterials field, standards can be used for physical, mechanical, chemical, and biological testing of materials. A test method standard describes the test specimen to be used, the conditions under which it is to be tested, how many are to be tested, and how the data are to be analyzed. A material standard describes the chemical and physical properties of the material. A device standard describes the device and its laboratory-based performance.
