Implant Design

Abstract

The long-term success of dental implants depend on a number of factors such as a design of implant and method of insertion. Key factors that influence the design must be in concert with anatomy, physiology and biomaterials. The implant design has a great influence on initial stability and subsequent function. The main design parameters are: implant length, implant diameter, implant shape and surface characteristic.
