1. Implant body
The implant body is a metal pillar implanted in the oral cavity, which serves as the foundation and support for other implant components such as brackets, adapters, screws, etc., and is used as a carrier to support dentures. The implant body is mainly made of pure titanium, which has excellent biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and good material stability. It can adapt well to the oral environment and maintain a stable alveolar bone morphology for a long time.
2. Screw
Screws are the connecting devices fixed inside the implant body and are an important component of the implant. Their application enables a firm connection between implants or between implants and dentures, with stability that meets the requirements of oral stress. Screws are generally divided into regular screws and necking screws.
3. Adapter body
The adapter is used to connect the fixed interface between the implant body and the denture. Most adapters are made of pure titanium, which can fully utilize the high-quality performance of the implant and achieve seamless connection. The connection between the adapter on the implant and the denture can be made in different ways such as fixed or card type connection to meet the needs of different patients.
4. Set ball
The positioning ball is also an important component of the implant, which is embedded at the bottom of the denture. By making fixed contact with the implant and adapter, it achieves stable fixation of the denture, avoiding issues such as displacement and detachment.
5. Brackets
Brackets are hook devices on implants used to secure and support dentures. Generally speaking, there are two types of brackets: spherical and planar. They are firmly connected to the implant in the body through their connection with the denture, providing sufficient support for the denture.
6. Snap ring
A clasp is a circular device used to secure dentures. Once the clasp is fixed to the adapter and implant site, the denture can be firmly connected to the implant by interlocking with the clasp.
7. Screw sleeve
The screw sleeve has the effect of combining with the screw to provide a stronger connection when the screw rotates. Screw sleeves are usually paired with the implant body and work together.
8. Covering body
The covering body is mainly made of natural teeth or artificial teeth, and it is the final assembly part of the implant during the restoration process, which can meet the needs of oral function and aesthetics.
Overall, the accessories and materials required for implants include the implant body, screws, adapters, positioning balls, brackets, clasps, screw sleeves, covers, etc. The application of these accessories and materials enables the implant to be firmly fixed in the alveolar bone, while fully utilizing the connection effect between the denture and the oral cavity.
