This review paper investigates the possible transformation of endosseous dental implant, primarily from the current osseointegrated to the future ligament anchored implant within which a new class of implants with enhanced feature of “neuro-ligament integration” may appear. Endosseous dental implants used presently to replace missing teeth get fused with bone but they do not have any periodonta...

though the fields of regenerative dentistry and tissue engineering have undergone significant advancements, yet its application to the field of implant-dentistry is lacking; in the sense that presently the implants are being placed with the aim of attaining osseointegration without giving consideration to the regeneration of periodontium around the implant. the following article reveals the cli...

This paper describes a numerical study performed with the finite element method of novel dental implant system. A conventional Brånemark dental implant system was redesigned and a bio-inert stress barrier (elastomer) was interposed between the implant and the ceramic crown. The goal was to attenuate the loading of the bone surrounding the implant with high magnitude stresses. The new design was...
