The dental implant includes body, base, healing cap, gingival former, sanitary cap, central bolt and other components.

(1) Body. It is the key part for obtaining support, retention and stability when the dental implant is implanted in the oral tissue. Among them, the body of the implant implanted in the soft tissue is called the bracket, which is mesh-shaped; the body implanted in the bone is called the implant or fixed post, also known as the intraosseous segment.

(2) Base. The upper denture is connected to the implant through it.

(3) Healing cap. Also known as the covering screw, it is a component that is screwed into and fixed to the body of the implant using a thread. It mainly serves to temporarily cover the hole connecting the body and the base.

(4) Gingival former. Also known as the healing base, during dental implant surgery, the bleeding from the surgical wound will affect the operator's field of vision. When the base is screwed in, the soft tissue may be accidentally squeezed between the base and the body, causing soft tissue necrosis and infection. This component can solve the above problem.

(5) Sanitary cap. It is the screw at the top of the pile. The function of the sanitary cap is to prevent food residues from entering the pile screw before the pile is installed and the upper denture is not installed.

(6) Central bolt. Also known as the central screw, it is a rod-shaped screw that penetrates the pile and connects it to the body to form a whole.
