Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

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.  

Graft composed of multiple graft types (e.g., autogenous‐synthetic graft or autogenous‐xenograft), which may be mixed or layered within the defect.  

Transitional state between woven and lamellar bone, in which a woven bone lattice filled with lamellar bone can be seen histologically.  

The structures related to how the teeth interact, which includes the temporomandibular joints, muscles that are related, the teeth, jaws, and other supporting or related soft and hard tissues.  

A polyacid‐modified composite resin containing an acid‐modified dimethacrylate resin, glass ionomer fillers, and a photo initiator.  

Unexpected deviation from the normal treatment outcome. It is generally classified as either technical or biological, e.g., surgical complication, hemorrhage, damage to the inferior alveolar nerve, infection, delayed wound healing, or lack of osseointegration. A secondary reaction, infection, or other negative event that makes recovery from illnesses more difficult and/or longer. The results of a…

A break or disruption in an osseous structure that then causes an injury to adjacent structures like organs, nerves, or blood vessels. A fracture with an associated injury of tissue, as when a bone has punctured an artery. A fracture in which the bone is broken and has injured some internal organ, such as a…
