Screw endosteal dental implant, one-piece

Intended purpose

A sterile device made of alloplastic materials [e.g., titanium (Ti), stainless steel, ceramic] intended to be surgically implanted into alveolar and/or basal bone of the mandible or maxilla to provide support and a means of retention for a dental prosthesis (e.g., bridge, single-tooth, overdenture). It is a one-piece device composed of an anchorage portion (implant body) in the form of a threaded screw that is implanted into bone, and a retention portion (implant abutment) that protrudes through gingival tissues to support the prosthesis.
