Types of dental implants

There are several types of dental implants that differ in design and materials used. Here are some common types:
• Endosteal Implants:
They are considered the most common and are usually used in the upper and lower jaw.
It consists of a metal screw that is screwed directly into the bone.
An artificial crown is placed over the implant to replace the missing tooth.
• Subperiosteal Implants:
Used when there is not enough bone to support an integrated implant.
It consists of a metal frame that is placed over the bone and under the gum.
An artificial crown is installed on the frame.
• Hybrid Implants:
Combines integrated dental implants with surface dental implants.
The artificial crown is attached to the part of the implant that protrudes beyond the gum.
• Temporary dental implants:
It is used for temporary cases such as temporary replacement of missing teeth before permanent implant placement.
The choice of implant type varies depending on the patient’s clinical condition and the dentist’s assessment of the condition. It is important to consult a specialist dentist to determine the appropriate option and plan the optimal treatment for each case
