| dental implantation | The grafting or inserting of a prosthetic device of alloplastic material into the oral tissue beneath the mucosal or periosteal layer or within the bone. Its purpose is to provide support and retention to a partial or complete denture. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dental implantation, endosseous | Insertion of an implant into the bone of the mandible or maxilla. The implant has an exposed head which protrudes through the mucosa and is a prosthodontic abutment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dental implantation, endosseous, endodontic | Insertion of a tapered rod through the root canal into the periapical osseous structure to lengthen the existing root and provide individual tooth stabilization. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dental implantation, subperiosteal | The grafting or inserting of an appliance designed to fit over the surface of the mandible or the maxilla, beneath the specialised connective tissue that covers the bone (periosteum). (12 Dec 1998) |
| implantation | <procedure> The insertion or grafting into the body of biological, living, inert or radioactive material. Origin: L. Plantare = to set (18 Nov 1997) |
| implantation cone | <cell biology> Tapering region between a neuron's cell body and its axon. This region is responsible for summating the graded inputs from the dendrites and producing action potentials if the threshold is exceeded. (12 Mar 1998) |
