Oral implantology refers to the area of medicine which deals with the assessment of health and diseases of the supporting and investing structures of dental implants and natural teeth. It is also concerned with oral mucous membrane, along with the prevention and treatment of diseases. The major focus of oral implantology is not the surgical phase but the restorative phase. The oral environment keeps changing and it is not possible to have perfect conditions for healing. The complications related with implant procedures can be reduced through a comprehensive and through assessment of dental history, knowledge of head and neck anatomy, and radiographic survey. It also comprises knowledge of pharmacological, prosthetic, and surgical processes, along with principles of follow up care. The success of dental surgical procedures depends on the health of the person receiving the treatment, health condition of the tissues in the mouth, and the drugs which affect the probability of osseointegration. The aim of this book is to present researches that have transformed the discipline of oral implantology and aided its advancement. Its extensive content provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.

Dental implant is a procedure in which an intraoral prosthesis made from titanium screws is implanted into the jawbone to correct defects, like missing teeth, or missing hard or soft structures of the jaw. The principal dental implant prostheses include dental crown, dental bridge, dentures, palatal obturator and orthodontic appliance. The main objective of dental implant prosthetics is to enhance aesthetics, improve mastication and support speech. Fixed prosthodontics or removable dentures can be used for treatment, depending on the health condition of the patient. The angle and position of adjacent teeth determines the position where implants will be fixed. The position is assessed by utilizing computed tomography with CAM simulations, lab simulations and through surgical stents. This book covers in detail some existent and innovative concepts revolving around dental implant prosthetics. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. This book will prove to be immensely beneficial to students and researchers in this field.
