The use of computer technology for the process of design and design documentation. Computer‐aided drafting describes the process of drafting with a computer. CADD software provides the user with input tools for the purpose of streamlining design processes, drafting, documentation, and manufacturing processes.  

The use of computer programs to create two‐ or three‐ dimensional (2D or 3D) graphical representations of physical objects. CAD software may be specialized for specific applications.  

A radiologic two‐dimensional representation of a three dimensional depiction of a patient’s anatomic structures. The images formed depict anatomic osseous structures that can be measured and examined for dental implant placement. A computer is used to arrange the collected radiographic images into a single view. A technique for imaging anatomical structures with X ray. Objects…

Imaging technique that uses a combination of X‐rays and computer technology to generate a three‐dimensional, panoramic, or cross‐sectional image of a bodily structure. Data acquisition is through a series of scans along a single axis of a bodily structure, in implant dentistry parallel to the occlusal plane. It can be used for the treatment planning…

Any interference with osteogenesis. Lack of primary stability during the placement of implants in the osteotomy site may lead to fibrous integration of the implant, instead of osseointegration.  

Stress caused by a load (two forces applied toward one another in the same straight line) that tends to compress or shorten an object.  

A joint in the body that involves three or more bones.  

A highly cross‐linked polymeric material reinforced by a dispersion of amorphous silica, glass, crystalline, or organic resin filler particles and/or short fibers bonded to the matrix by a coupling agent. It refers to a synthetic material that mimics the natural color of a tooth and is utilized to restore missing portions of a tooth.
