Osseointegration

More about the book

Osseointegration is essential for the stability and long-term success of dental implants, involving a direct connection between living bone and the implant surface. The dynamic interface between implant and tissue encompasses biomaterial compatibility and mechanical environment changes. Initially, the process features interlocking between the implant and alveolar bone, followed by biological fixation through ongoing bone apposition and remodeling. Various factors influence the formation and maintenance of bone around the implant, highlighting the complexity of this interaction.
