It involves the replacement of a lost tooth/teeth by an implantation process which secures the fabricated tooth to a titanium post with an adhesive resulting in a stable and sturdy denture almost like the original. A relevant document will include any clinical experiment, report, study, paper, or medical discussion which describes the advantages or disadvantages of tooth implant(s), conditions under which such a procedure is favorable, denture comfort and function compared to false teeth, bridge, or plate and comparative cost differential.
