2. Dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

   Implants preserve the integrity of the teeth adjacent to the edentulous area, and it has been shown that dental implant therapy is less costly and more efficient over time than tooth-supported FPDs for the replacement of one missing tooth. The major disadvantage of dental implant surgery is the need for a surgical procedure. [17]

3. Palatal expansion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palatal_expansion

   It is a general rule to expand the maxilla to a point where the lingual cusp of maxillary molar teeth touch the buccal cusp of mandibular molar teeth. Studies done decades ago by Krebs [ 14 ] (1964), Stockfisch [ 15 ] (1969) and Linder Aronson [ 16 ] (1979) showed that about one-third to one-half of the expansion was lost before the expansion ...

4. History of dental treatments - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_dental_treatments

   Panoramic radiograph of historic dental implants, taken 1978. There is archeological evidence that humans have attempted to replace missing teeth with root form implants for thousands of years. Remains from ancient China (dating 4000 years ago) have carved bamboo pegs, tapped into the bone, to replace lost teeth, and 2000-year-old remains from ...

5. Tooth transplant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_transplant

   Benjamin Bell wrote in 1785 on tooth transplanting in his book, A system of surgery (volume 5), pp. 76, on how the transplanted tooth must be "free from scurvy and the lues venera" thereby appreciating the significance of the procedure in the transmission of various infections. [18]

6. Root analogue dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_analogue_dental_implant

   RAIs are custom made to perfectly fit the tooth socket of a specific patient immediately after tooth extraction. Therefore every implant is unique. As an optimised root-form it is much more than a simple 1:1 replica of a tooth. Since it exactly fills the gap left after the tooth is extracted, surgery is rarely needed.

7. Alveoloplasty - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveoloplasty

   Mylohyoid ridge is a ridge on the inner side of the bone of the lower jaw extending from the junction of the two halves of the bone in front of the last molar on each side. When there is loss of posterior teeth, the alveolar ridge gets resorbed, causing extremely sharp ridge and making the mylohyoid ridge prominent.
