Classification of dental implants
Classification of dental implants depends on a number of criteria, but many types of implants are designed for use in the current state of the bone tissue and the jaw of the patient. A number of dentists are paying more attention to the classification of dental implants on the material of their making, separating artificial roots for:
- Biotolerant (chromium-cobalt alloy or stainless steel);
- Bioinert (gold, zirconium, titanium, glassy carbon, corundum ceramics);
- Bioactive (covered by tricalcium phosphate ceramics or hydroxyapatite).
