Due to lack of the periodontal ligament, osseointegrated implants, unlike natural teeth, react
biomechanically in a different fashion to occlusal force. It is therefore believed that dental …

The urge to replace missing teeth dates back to the origin of medicine. Along history, organic
materials, metals, alloys, polymers, glasses, and carbon were used to substitute teeth, but …
