(276 cards)
What is the implant component that lies between the implant and the crown?
Abutment
What is the screw that clamps the abutment onto the implant?
Abutment screw
What are flat small implants that are inserted into a cut in the bone?
Blade implants
What is a software associated radiographic technique that produces an exact cross-sectional view of the mandible or maxilla?
Computed tomography (CT)
What is the CT scanner that uses a cone-shaped radiographic source and a large detector to produce a 3-D radiographic image?
Cone beam CT
What is the screw that blocks the implant entrance during the healing period after surgery?
Cover screw
What is the distance between the implant platform and the edges of the extraction socket. Used as a reference for feasibility of immediate implant placement?
Critical Space
What is the subgingival change in shape of the abutment and/or the crown, between the implant platform and its emergence from gingival tissues?
Emergence profile
What is an implant-to-abutment attachment that sits on top of the implant platform. Common shape is external hexagon?
External Connection
What is a temporary abutment that is used in place of a cover screw after an implant has been inserted and removed before the restoration is placed?
Healing abutment
What is an arbitrary scale of values assigned to various radiopaque densities when using computed tomography?
Hounsfield numbers
What is technique in which implants are restored/loaded at the time of implant placement?
Immediate loading
What is a titanium device placed in bone that replaces the root of a tooth and enables the attachment of a prosthesis?
Implant
What is an implant-to-abutment attachment placed inside the implant body, found in internal friction systems?
Internal connection
What is a system where abutments are retained by friction against the inner walls of the implant?
Internal friction system
What is the term for Irreversible microscopic changes in the metal of implants and components when an excessive force applied; often leads to fracture?
Mechanical fatigue
What are Implants that are exposed to oral cavity on day of placement?
One Stage Implants
What is the term for attachment of bone to the surface of an implant?
Osseointegration
What the name of the procedure by which the sinus floor is elevtted via the osteotomy prior to implant placement?
The Osteotome technique
What is progressive bone loss and inflammatory tissue pathology that results from plaque accumulation and bacterial infiltration around implants?
Peri-implantitis
What is a reversible condition characterized by gingival inflammation around implants without evidence of bone resorption?
Mucositis
What are flat, mesh-like implants that lie on the osseous surface?
Periosteal implants
What is a clinical procedure in which soft tissue is measured at several locations of an edentulous ridge in order to estimate the width of underlying bone architecture?
Ridge mapping
What is the term for cylinder or screw-shaped implants that are also the most common implants used today?
Root form implants
