A manmade device positioned into the alveolar and/or basal bone of the mandible or maxilla that transects a cortical plate. It is made up of an endosteal dental implant body that provides anchorage when positioned and integrated within the bone and the endosteal dental implant abutment that retains the prosthesis. Multiple adjectives are used to describe the endosteal dental implant. It can be described by its shape (e.g., cylinder, screw, conical, blade, or basket) or by the materials from which the implant is constructed (e.g., titanium, titanium alloy, or ceramic).
