A surgical protocol consisting of placing an endosseous root‐form dental implant in the bone and leaving it covered with a flap. A second surgery is needed to expose the implant in order to create the prosthesis.  

Protocol followed using two separate surgical procedures for implant placement. In the first stage, an osteotomy site is prepared, the implant is placed, and primary closure is accomplished. The second stage occurs after a specified healing period in which a soft tissue exposure is necessary to uncover the implant and allow connection to transmucosal components…

Submergible implant. An endosseous dental implant designed to be placed according to a twostage surgery protocol. It undergoes osseointegration while covered with soft tissue.  

These procedures are performed when the bone defect is too large for simultaneous implant placement and sufficient primary implant stability; implant placement is delayed. Compare: One‐stage grafting procedures.  

Anchorage component and element of the prosthetic component manufactured as two separate pieces. Implant and transmucosal abutment are assembled as separate components or elements.
