Dental implant is a structure which provide support for the replacement of decayed or miss natural tooth by an artificial material. A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants may be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason.

Question 1 of 1
1. Question
When treatment planning the placement of os- seointegrated endosseous implants, which of the following is true?
Correct
The correct answer is D. As a general rule, one should always use the largest possible im¬plant diameter. Larger diameter implants offer greater surface area for osseointegration, and thus provide greater implant stability. Because of their reduced mechanical stability, small- diameter implants are used only in cases with a low mechanical load. The diameter of the im-plant does, in fact, affect the stability of the implant fixture. The wider (larger) diameter implants provide greater surface area for os- seointegration, and therefore provide greater stability. An implant must never be placed into (or too close to) vital structures such as the in-ferior alveolar nerve.
