Abstract

Dental implants represent a pivotal advancement in dental restoration, offering patients a robust solution for tooth replacement. Integral to their success is the phenomenon of osseointegration, wherein implants integrate with the jawbone to provide stability and functionality akin to natural teeth. This review explores the implications of dental implants on jawbone density and structure, synthesizing current research findings. While implants generally support bone preservation and may even stimulate local bone density, concerns exist regarding potential complications such as peri-implantitis and bone resorption. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for optimizing treatment outcomes and long-term oral health. This abstract underscores the dual role of dental implants in enhancing dental function while necessitating vigilant management of their impact on jawbone health.
