The document discusses dental implants, which are root devices made of titanium or zirconium used to replace missing teeth. They fuse directly to surrounding bone through osseointegration. Key parts include the implant body, healing screw, healing caps, and abutments. Implants are classified by placement site (endosteal, subperiosteal, transosteal), materials used, and design. Factors like bone width/height, soft tissues, and smile line must be considered. Precise flap designs are selected based on bone atrophy levels to ensure blood supply. Implant sites are prepared carefully using specialized burs and temperature controls to prevent bone cell death before implant insertion and staged healing
