Dental Implant-Abutment Design
|
D059605 |
[Use of a DENTAL ABUTMENT which has a smaller diameter than the DENTAL IMPLANT at the junction. It improves the distribution of forces and helps reduce bone loss after the implant placement.

Dental Implantation
|
D003757 |
[The grafting or inserting of a prosthetic device of alloplastic material into the oral tissue beneath the mucosal or periosteal layer or within the bone. Its purpose is to provide support and retention to a partial or complete denture.

Dental Implantation, Endosseous, Endodontic
|
D003759 |

Dental Impression Materials
|
D003760 |
[Substances used to create an impression, or negative reproduction, of the teeth and dental arches. These materials include dental plasters and cements, metallic oxide pastes, silicone base materials, or elastomeric materials.

|
Dental Impression Technique
|
D003761 |
[Procedure of producing an imprint or negative likeness of the teeth and/or edentulous areas. Impressions are made in plastic material which becomes hardened or set while in contact with the tissue. They are later filled with plaster of Paris or artificial stone to produce a facsimile of the oral structures present. Impressions may be made of a full complement of teeth, of areas where some teeth have been removed, or in a mouth from which all teeth have been extracted. (Illustrated Dictionary of Dentistry, 1982)

Dental Marginal Adaptation
|
D018772 |
[The degree of approximation or fit of filling material or dental prosthetic to the tooth surface. A close marginal adaptation and seal at the interface is important for successful dental restorations.
