A dental implant is a "root" device, usually made of titanium, used in dentistry to support corrections that look like a tooth or list of teeth to substitute losing tooth.Virtually all dental implants placed these days are root-form endosseous implants, i.e., they appear similar to an actual tooth main (and thus use a "root-form") and are placed within the cuboid (endo- being the Ancient prefix for "in" and osseous mentioning "bone")
