THE PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. CROWN Definition: The part of a tooth projecting from the gum.
Fig : Crowns
Crowns are the top part of a restoration and are the part that we see in the mouth. They replicate
the original teeth to provide a biting surface and aesthetic appearance. (Fig.18). They are hand
made by the technician. The supporting substructure for the crown may be hand-made or
machined (onsite or offsite).
Material Used: Porcelains (metal supported or metal free) or metal (normally gold)
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx
2/28
2. ABUTMENTDefinition: The lateral supporting structure of a bridge, arch, etc. The point
of junction between such a support and the thing supported.(Fig.19)
Fig.19: Abutment
An abutment provides support for the crown (or several crowns i.e. a bridge). It is also the
interface between the crown and the implant. Rotation (twist) is controlled by lugs shaped on the
abutments stem. These lugs restrict the abutments rotational placement by setting incremental
steps.
Materials Used: Titanium.
3. IMPLANT BODY
Definition: An insert (tissue, a substance, a device, etc.) into the body.
Fig.: Implant Body
Implant body may be further divided into (Fig 20)
1. Crest module
2. Implant body
3. Implant apex
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx
3/28
An implant body provides the anchor or foundation for a restoration. It is screwed into the bone
of the jaw providing a fixed platform on which an abutment can be screwed.
Bone tissue can grow around the implant regenerating and strengthening the jaw reducing the
bone loss which occurs when natural teeth are lost
Materials Used: Titanium.
4. IMPRESSION COPING
Fig.: Impression Coping
Impression copings are used by the dentist to replicate the position of the implant in the patients
mouth. The dentist screws the impression coping to the real implant and then, using a specific
impression technique, takes an impression of the dentition. (Fig 21) The impression technique
can be open or closed:
Open tray technique allows the dentist to remove the impression complete with impression
coping(s) from the patients mouth by allowing external access to the copings retaining screw(s)
i.e. the impression coping(s) remain fixed in the impression material. The dentist is then required
to add the analogue(s) prior to dispatching to the lab.
Closed tray technique requires that the dentist first removes the impression the patients mouth
then unscrews the impression coping(s) to remove them from the implant. The impression
coping(s) are then placed back into position by the dentist in the impression material and the
analogues are added prior to despatch.
Materials Used: Titanium, plastic, and anodized aluminium

4/28
5. ANALOGUE OR IMPLANT REPLICA
Fig .: Analogue
Analogues are used by laboratory technicians to replicate implants and their position in a
patients mouth. A model of the patients dentition is cast using an impression. The analogue,
screwed onto the impression coping, is set into the plaster model during casting. (Fig. 22)
They provide an exact fixed reference platform (a replica of the position of the implant) from
which the technician can place and shape the abutment and build the crown or bridge.
Materials Used: Stainless steel (sometimes brass)
6. RETENTIVE ANCHORS
Fig .23: Retentive anchors
Retentive anchors come in various types of design: Ball Abutment (with retaining clip),
Magnetic Abutment (with retaining magnet) and Tower Abutment (which comes with a retaining
clip). All come in two main parts: The shaped abutment part and the female which c lips over it
known as a Matrix.(Fig. 23)
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx
5/28
Once the anchor abutments are screwed into the implants, they provide support for a full or a
partial denture (which are clipped on). This provides a very stable platform and prevents
unwanted movement of the prosthesis.
Materials Used: Titanium and gold (with plastic matrices or magnetic material)
7. BAR RETAINERS
Fig .24: Bar retainers
Constructed by laboratory technicians, bar retainers mount directly onto implants . A clip
mechanism then secures a denture to the screw retained bar.(Fig. 24)
There are two well known types, Dolder and Hader. These bars provide a strong support option
for retaining dentures. They may be mounted on several different manufacturers implant
systems.
Materials Used: Titanium or gold (clips are plastic or brass)
Requisites of an ideal implant restorative material
It should be stable in the oral environment and should not
undergo corrosion.
It should fit passively over the implant abutment.
It should be esthetic.
It should not induce undue stresses in the implant or the bone.
It should be biocompatible and should not induce any
allergenic reaction.
It should be easy to fabricate and handle.
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx
6/28
It should be easy to maintain.
It should be cost-effective.
The physical, mechanical, chemical and electrical properties of the basic material components
must always be fully evaluated for any biomaterial application, as these properties provide key
inputs into the biomechanical and biologic analysis of function.
The materials used for dental implants can be classified according to their biological nature as
follows:
Biotolerant:Biotolerant materials are those that are not necessarily rejected when implanted into
the living tissue, but are surrounded by a fibrous layer in the form of capsule.
Bioinert:These allow close apposition of bone on their surface, leading to contact osteogenesis.
Bioactive:These materials also allow the formation of new bone onto their surface, but ion
exchange with host tissue leads to the formation of a chemical bond along the interface (bonding
osteogenesis)

Flowchart (3): classification of materials used for dental implants
1.METALS
The metals currently used are:
a) Stainless steel
It has high strength and ductility. The surface is passivated to increase biocorrosion resistance
It is used in wrought and heat treated condition.
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx
8/28
Precautions: It is contraindicated in patients sensitive to nickel. As it is susceptible to crevice
and pitting corrosion, so care has to be taken to preserve passivated surface. It has galvanic
potential, so avoid contact with dissimilar metal e.g. Base metal or noble metal bridge.
b) Cobalt Chromium-Molybdenum Alloy
It has high modulus (stiffness), low ductility, outstanding resistance to corrosion, excellent
biocompatibility. Its commonly used for fabrication of custom design (e.g. Subperiosteal
frames)
Precautions: A proper fabrication techniques should be used as composition is critical. It has
poor ductility, so bending should be avoided.
c) Titanium and Titanium Aluminium / Vanadium alloy
Pure Titanium (Commercially pure titanium CpTi) has become material of choice because of
its predictable behaviour with the oral tissues and environment. It has food corrosion resistance
due to passivating effect. Oxide layer forms on cut surface within a millisecond, thus it is self
healing. It has a low density i.e 4-5 g/cm2 , high strength to weight ratio, low stiffness as
compared to stainless, yet 5 to 10 times greater than living bone.
Precautions: Proper design should be used to distribute stresses properly. It releases titanium
into blood and saliva, however side effects have not been seen yet.
Metal with surface coatings
This includes a titanium implant that is coated with a thin layer of a calcium phosphate ceramic.
It can also be plasma sprayed.
Advantages:
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx
9/28
The tricalcium phosphate or hydroxyapatite is rich in calcium and phosphorous. This produces a
bioactive surface which promotes bone growth and forms a direct bone between the implant and
the bone.
d)Titanium and Ti-6al-4v
This reactive group of metals and alloys form tenacious oxides in air or oxygenated solutions.
This passivated surface minimizes the bio-corrosion phenomenon. In situations where the
implant would be placed within a closely fitting receptor site in bone, areas scratched or abraded
during placement would re-passivate in vivo.
The strength values for wrought soft and ductile metallurgic condition are approximately 1.5
times greater than the strength of compact bone. In most designs where the bulk dimensions and
shapes are simple strength of this magnitude is adequate.
Titanium shows relatively low modulus of elasticity and tensile strength when compared with
most other alloys. Yet its modulus of elasticity is 5 times greater than that of the compact bone,
and this property places emphasis on the importance of design in the proper distribution of
mechanical stress transfer.
Precautions: Sharp corners or thin sections must be avoided for regions loaded under tension or
shear conditions
e) Iron Chromium Nickel Based Alloys
This alloy as with Ti systems is used most often in wrought and heat treated metallurgic
conditions, which results in a high strength and high ductility alloy. The ramus blade, ramus
frame, stabilizer fins and some mucosal insert systems have been made from the iron based
alloy.
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx
10/28
Precautions: Because this alloy contains nickel as major elements, use in patients allergic or
hypersensitive to nickel should be avoided. Iron based alloys have galvanic potentials and
corrosion characteristics that could result in concerns about galvanic coupling and bio-corrosion
if interconnected with Titanium, Cobalt, Zirconium or Carbon implant biomaterials.
f) Cobalt and Iron Alloys
The alloys of Cobalt & Iron exhibit oxides of chromium under normal implant surface finishing
conditions after acid or electro-chemical passivation. These chromium oxides as with Titanium
alloys result in significant reduction in chemical activity & environmental iron transfer.
In the absence of surface damage, the chromium oxide on stainless steel biomaterials have
shown excellent resistance to breakdown & multiple examples of tissue & host compatibility
have been shown for implants removed after long term implantation.
Precautions: if stainless steel implant surfaces are mechanically altered during implantation or if
the construct induces an interface that is subjected to biomechanical fretting, the iron alloy will
biodegrade.
g) Other Metals and Alloys
Tantalum, Platinum, Iridium, Gold, Palladium and alloys of these metals have been used.More
recently devices made from Zirconium, Hafnium and Tungsten have been evaluated.
Precautions: Gold, Platinum and Palladium are metals of relatively low strength which places
limits on implant design. But still Gold is used because of nobility and availability.
2. CERAMICS
Ceramics are inert materials and have excellent biocompatibility
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx
11/28
Based on their interaction with bone there are two types:
a. Bioactive e.g. Hydroxy apatite and Bioglass
b. Bioinert e.g. Aluminum oxide
a) Ceramics and Carbon
Ceramics are inorganic non metallic, non polymeric materials manufactured by compacting and
sintering at elevated temperatures. Because of their inertness to biodegradation, high strength,
physical characteristics such as color and minimal thermal and electrical conductivity, and a
wide range material specific elastic properties they are in use. Ceramics have been used in bulk
forms and more recently as coatings on metals and alloys.
Precautions: The low ductility or inherent brittleness has resulted in limitations:
b) Alumina, Titanium & Zirconium Oxides
High ceramics from aluminum, titanium and zirconium oxides have been used for root form,
endosteal plate form and pin type dental implants. The compressive, tensile and bending strength
exceed the strength of the compact bone by 3-5 times. These properties combined with high
moduli of elasticity and especially with fatigue and fracture strength have resulted in specialized
design requirements.
The Aluminium, Titanium and Zirconium oxide ceramics have a clear white, cream or light gray
color which is beneficial for applications in anterior root form devices.
In early studies of dental and orthopedic devices in laboratory animals and humans ceramics
have exhibited direct interphases with bone similar to an Osseo integrated condition with
Titanium.
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx
12/28
Precautions: One series of root form and plate form devices used during the 1970s resulted in
intra oral fractures after several years of function. The fractures were initiated by fatigue cycling
where biomechanical stresses were along regions of localized bending and tensile loading.
c) Bioactive and Biodegradable Ceramics Based on Calcium Phosphate
The calcium phosphate ceramics used in dental reconstructive surgery include a wide range of
implant types and thereby a wide range of clinical implications. The laboratory and clinical
results for calcium phosphate particulates were most promising and led to expansions for implant
application.
Calcium aluminates, sodium lithium inert glasses with calcium phosphate and glass ceramics
provide a wide range of properties and have found extended applications.
Precautions: In general these classes of bio-ceramics have lower strength, hardness and
modulus of elasticity than the more chemically inert forms previously discussed.
d) Carbon & Carbon Silicon Compounds
Carbon compounds are often classified under ceramics because of their chemical inertness &
absence of ductility, however they are conductors of heat & electricity. Ceramic & carbonate
substances continue to be used as coatings on metallic & ceramic materials.
They show tissue attachment and provide Opportunities for the attachment of active bio-
molecules/synthetic compound.
Precautions: They show lack of mechanical strength properties
e) Hydroxy Apatite
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx
13/28
In addition to bulk, aluminum oxide biomaterials, calcium phosphate based ceramic or ceramic
like coatings have been added to Titanium & Cobalt alloy substrates to enhance tissue
integration. These coatings for the most part are applied by plasma spraying small size particles
of crystalline hydroxyapatite ceramic powders.43
Surface roughening by particulate blasting can be achieved by different media. Sandblasting
provides irregular, rough surface of 10. Titanium implants maybe etched with a solution of
Nitric acid and Hydrochloric acid. The acids very rapidly attack metals other than Titanium &
these processes are electrochemical in nature.
Precautions: Surface roughening is quite a sensitive procedure and requires much care and
precision.
3. POLYMERS & COMPOSITES
It can be designed to match tissue properties, can be anisotropic with relation to mechanical
characteristics, can be coated for attachment to tissues, can be fabricated at relatively low cost.
a)Polymers
In general, polymers have low strength & elastic moduli and higher elongations to fracture
compared with other classes of biomaterials. They are thermal & electrical insulators and are
relatively resistant to bio degradation.44
Polymers have been fabricated in porous and solid forms for tissue attachment, replacement,
augmentation & as coatings for force transfer to soft & hard tissue region. Cold flow
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx
14/28
characteristics, creep & fatigue strengths are relatively low for some classes of polymers. e.g:
Polymethylmethacrylate. In contrast some are extremely tough and fatigue cycle resistant.
e.g: Polytetrafluoroethylene. The indications for Polytetrafluoroethylene have grown
exponentially in the last decade because of the development of membranes for guided tissue
regeneration technique.
b)Composites
Most of the inert polymers have been combined with particulate or fibers of carbon, Aluminum
oxide, Hydroxyapatite & glass ceramics. In some cases, bio degradable polymers such as Poly
Vinyl Alcohol, Poly Lactides or Glycolides, Cyanoacralates or other Hydra table forms have
been combined with bio degradable CaPO4 particulate or fibers. These are intended as structural
scaffolds, plates, screws or other such applications.
TYPES OF IMPLANTS
1.BASED ON THE LOCATION
a) Subperiosteal (fig 31)
In this design, the implant body lies over the bony ridge.
It has decreased long-term success rate because of increased chances of dislodgement
and complex in their design.
The Subperiosteal design currently in use for orthodontics is ONPLANT
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx
15/28
Onplant developed by Block and Hoffman in 1995 consists of circular disc 8-10mm in
diameter with a provision for abutments in center,through which orthodontist carry
tooth movements against implants
Fig 31: Subperiosteal implants
b) Transosseous(fig 32)
The implant body penetrates the mandible completely.
It is not widely used because of possible damage of the
Infra bony soft tissue structures like the nerves and vessels.
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx
16/28
Fig - 32: Transosseous implants
c) Endosseous implants
These implants are partially submerged and anchored within bone.
It is most popular and most widely used one.
Fig 33-endosseous implants
d) Denture Enhancing Intramucosal Implant
Intramucosal inserts differ in form, concept, and function from the other modalities. They aremushroom-shaped titanium projections that are attached to the tissue surface of a partial or totalremovable denture in the maxilla[14] and plug into prepared soft-tissue receptor sites in the gingivato provide additional retention and stability. Thus, they provide support for a prosthesis but do notprovide abutments. They are used in the treatment of patients for whom endosteal orsubperi osteal implants are not deemed to be practical or desirable.Intramucosal inserts do not come into contact with bone, so the mode of tissue integration is not
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx
17/28
osteointegration, osteopreservation, or periosteal integration. Rather, the receptor sites in thetissue into which the inserts seat become lined with tough, keratinized epithelium. In this sense,seated intramucosal inserts are external to the body. Only one appointment is required for theplacement of intramucosal inserts.For reasons that are described in detail in Chapter 20 , intramucosal inserts are best used in themaxilla. Because of complicated biomechanics, more acute alveolar ridge angles, a wider arrayof applied forces, and insufficient gingival thickness, placement of intramucosal inserts in themandible is not recommended. Figs. 2-31 and 2-32 show radiographs of typical mainstream
intramucosal insert cases in the maxilla.
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx

e) Osseousimplants
These are placed in dense bone such as zygoma, body, ramus and palatal area.
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx

2. BASED ON THE CONFIGURATION DESIG
A )Root form implants are designed to resemble the shape of a natural tooth root. They usually arecircular in cross section. Root forms can be threaded, smooth, stepped, parallel-sided or tapered,
with or without a coating, with or without grooves or a vent, and can be joined to a wide varietyof components for retention of a prosthesis.As a rule, root forms must achieve osteointegration to succeed. Therefore, they are placed in anafunctional state during healing until they are osteointegrated. Semi-submerged implant healingcollars are then removed, or submerged implants are surgically exposed for the attachment ofcomponents for the retention of a fixed or removable prosthesis. Thus, most root forms are twostageimplants. Stage one is submersion or semi-submersion to permit afunctional healing (, and stage two isthe attachment of an abutment or retention mechanismSemi-submersion of root forms obviates the need for two surgical interventions, which representsan important improvement in the modality in terms of technique-permissiveness. Root formprotocols require separate treatment steps for insertion and abutment or retention mechanism
attachment whether the healing protocol calls for submersion or semi-submersion.
root
a)Screw Type Implant
Tramonte introduced a stress resistant drive screw implant. Meglan & Lehman reported
on the expandable implants. Later Lew introduced a self tapping Vitallium screw implant
with conventional threads & square post.
Muratori & Pasquallini introduced hollow cores along with the screw threads. The
majority of these screw shaped implants were one piece & were not submerged, did not
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx
20/28
osseointegrate. It was emphasized that the fibrous peri implant membrane with its shock
absorbing feature preferred than bone fusing to implant.
In 1963 Dr. Linkow, American Dentist developed first screw type of implantVent Plant.
This was the first self tapping, self threading implant. It had an open cage like design that
went into bone first, with a few threads on solid body at the top. He used Vitallium first
latter on titanium.
b)Blade Implants (fig 34)14
Fig- 34:Blade implants
Linkow invented blade implants in 1967, long thin blade that will be surgically inserted
into the groove in the bone.
Abutment projecting out from the blade to this crown or attachment for denture can be
placed. It required the shared support of natural teeth also. It can be restored within
month so became most widely used in united states.
7/27/2019 PARTS OF A DENTAL IMPLANT.docx
21/28
Linkow modified the design configuration for broad applicability in maxilla & mandible,
narrow ridges.
c) Ramus Frame Implant (fig 35)
Fig - 35: Ramus frame implants
In 1970 Roberts & Roberts developed Ramus blade implants. It was to be positioned by
anchoring distally between the cortical plates in the ramus of the mandible. The
endosseous implant received stabilization from its anchorage in ramus area bilaterally &
in the symphyseal region.
Endodontic stabilizerAlthough endodontic stabilizer implants are endosteal implants, they differ fromother endostealimplants in terms of functional application. Rather than providing additional abutment support forrestorative dentistry, they are used to extend the functional length of an existing tooth root toimprove its prognosis[6] and when required, its ability to support bridgework. Modern endodonticstabilizers take the form of a long, threaded post that passes at least 5 mm beyond the apex ofthe tooth root into available bone. Endodontic stabilizers have been designed with parallel ortapered sides, smooth or threaded. The most successful endodontic stabilizers are threaded and
parallel-sided, with sluiceways in the threaded crests that prevent apical cement sealant frombeing expressed into bone by guiding it crestally. The parallel-sided threaded design controls thestress concentration at the apex of the root, protecting against fracture and trauma. [7]The endodontic stabilizer functions in the osteopreservation mode of tissue integration, becausethe tooth root through which it is inserted is subjected to normal physiologic micromovement asit heals. Endodontic stabilizers are placed and the procedure is completed in one visit, as the final
step of any conventional endodontic regimen.
