Osseointegrated implant (dental)

Osseointegration of Dental Implants refers to the process of bone growing right up to the implant surface. No soft tissue connects the bone to the surface of the implant. No scar tissue, cartilage or ligament fibers are present between the bone and implant surface. The direct contact of bone and implant surface can be verified microscopically. When Osseointegration occurs, the implant is tightly held in place by the bone. The process typically takes four to six months to occur well enough for the implant dentist to complete the restorations.

Definition of osseointegration: The apparent direct attachment or connection of osseous tissue to an inert, alloplastic material without intervening connective tissue.
