TYPES OF IMPLANT PROSTHESIS

This book provides a structured and comprehensive overview of implant prosthodontics, with emphasis on the classification of implant systems and implant-supported prostheses. It traces the evolution of implant dentistry from early mechanical concepts to modern biologically integrated and digitally driven rehabilitation protocols.Key topics include implant design, surface engineering, prosthetic support and retention mechanisms, abutment systems, biomaterials, fabrication techniques, and contemporary digital workflows. By integrating classical literature with recent advancements, the book highlights the biological and biomechanical principles essential for long-term implant success.Designed as an academic reference, this book serves as a practical guide for postgraduate students, clinicians, and readers seeking a systematic understanding of modern implant prosthodontics.
