Dentistry and implants together encompass the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of conditions affecting the teeth and gums, with a particular focus on the use of dental implants to replace or support missing or damaged teeth. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root, typically made of titanium, that is placed surgically into the jawbone, where the surrounding bone integrates with it over time to provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Implants have become an important option in restorative dentistry, supporting single crowns, bridges, and other prostheses and helping to restore both function and appearance. Research relevant to dentistry and implants includes work on graft materials and bone augmentation used to prepare implant sites, such as alloplastic putty and sinus lift techniques, the socket shield approach to immediate implants, the use of microRNAs to modify dental implant surfaces, and the reconstruction of atrophic bone to support implants, together with imaging methods that guide implant procedures. These studies address the surgical techniques, materials, and planning that underpin implant treatment. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to dentistry and dental implants and the restoration of the dentition.
