Screw endosteal dental implants are two-part devices surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. The threaded screw anchors into the bone, while the abutment protrudes above the gumline to secure a dental prosthesis, such as a bridge or overdenture, restoring function and appearance.
These implants are typically made from biocompatible materials like titanium or ceramic and are classified as sterile surgical devices. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally subject to premarket review to ensure safety and performance before clinical use.
