Dental A clinical protocol for the placement and application of force on dental implants, with a fixed or removable restoration in occlusal contact with the opposing dentition, at the same clinical visit. Syn.: Immediate occlusal loading

Dental Placement of a dental implant at the time of tooth extraction, into the extraction socket.

To load an (dental) implant right after placing it in the bone.

Dental A clinical protocol for the placement of dental implants in a partially edentulous arch, with a fixed or removable restoration not in occlusal contact with the opposing dentition, at the same clinical visit.

The area of contact between tissues (e. g. bone, connective tissue) and the implant surface

Dental Syn.: Prosthetic table, restorative platform, seating surface. Refers to the coronal aspect of an implant to which abutments, components, and prostheses may be connected.

ISQ Measure of implant stability (from 1 to 100, 100 being the highest degree of stability) obtained from resonance frequency analysis

An implanted insulin pump is a pump which remains inside the body at all times. An implanted insulin pump is able to deliver insulin into the peritoneal cavity which has a rich supply of blood vessels and can therefore absorb insulin very efficiently. Users of implanted insulin pumps have reported an improved sense of well …

Outside of the living organism or natural system. Usually refers to artificial experimental systems such as cultures or cell-free extras.

Within the living organism or natural system.

The degree of tightness of an implant immediately after placement in the prepared osteotomy. An implant is considered to have initial stability if it is clinically immobile at time of placement.

The torque value used to insert a screw-shaped implant into an osteotomy, expressed in Newtons centimeter.

IGF Peptides that behave similarly to insulin and stimulate cell proliferation.

Dental A prosthetic connection interface internal to the dental implant platform, e. g. internal hexagon or Morse taper connection.

Dental – A hexagonal connection interface of the platform of a dental implant within its coronal aspect. It prevents rotation of attached components.

Intramedullary means “located within the medulla” and refers to the bone marrow (medulla ossium).

Intraocular Lens   IOL for upcoming cataract surgery have three choices. Traditional  IOL This type of lens offers clear vision at one distance only. It is also known as a standard monofocal lens.

A transplant between twins.

A tissue graft transplanted from one genetically identical individual to another, as in monozygotic twins. Syn.: Isogeneic graft, isologous graft, syngeneic graft, Isograft.
