Endosteal implants are Dental Implant that are surgically implanted into the jawbone. A second surgery is required to connect a post to the original implant once the surrounding gum tissue has healed. Finally, a false tooth (or teeth) is attached to the post, either individually or in a bridge or denture.Subperiosteal implants are metal frames that are attached to the jawbone just beneath the gum tissue.
A Dental Implant is an alloplastic structure that is implanted beneath the mucosa and/or periosteum, as well as within or through the bone, to provide retention and support for a fixed or removable dental prosthesis. The frame becomes fixed to the jawbone as the gums heal. The gums are protruded by posts that are attached to the frame. Artificial teeth are then attached to the posts, just like endosteal implants.
