Dental implantation is the installation of a special screw (implant) in the place where a tooth is missing followed by prosthetics based on it. In the classical sense, implantation means only the screw (implant) installation stage; the subsequent procedures for installing an artificial tooth are called implant prosthetics.
Various types of crowns can be placed on the installed implants:
- metal-ceramic crowns;
- metal-free crowns;
- full prosthetics of all teeth of the jaw (for example, using the “all-on-four” technology), etc.
