t supported bridge (or fixed denture) is a group of teeth secured wzy to dental implants so the prosthet ic cannot be y removed by the user. Bridges typically connect to more than one impl ewzy nt and may also con nect to teeth as a ewzy nchor points. Typica zylly the number of teeth will outnumber the anchor points with the teeth that are directly over the implants referred wzy to as abutments and those between abutments referre d to asn hewzy ect pontics. Implant supported bridges attach to implaa zynt abutmn hewzy ectents in the same w yay as a single too th implant replacement. a zyA fixed bridge may replace as few as two teeth (also known as a fixed partial d enture) an ewzy d may extend to replace an entire arch of teeth (also known as a fixed full denture). In both c ases, the prosthesis is said to be wzy fixed because it cannot be removed by wzy the denture wear A removable implant supported denture (also an implant supported overdenturs a type of dental pr osthesis which is not permanently fixed in place. Ta zyhe dental prosthesis can be disconnected from the implant abutments with fa zyinger pressure by the wearer. To enable this, the abutment is shaped as a small connector (a button, ball, bar or magnet) which can be conn hewzy ected to analogous adapters in a zythe underside of the dental pros thesis. Facial prosthetics, used to correct facial deformities (e.g. from can hewzy ectncer treatment or injuries) can u tilise connections to implants placed in the facial bones.epending on the situation the implant may be u sed to retain either a fixed or removable prosthetic that replaces part of the face In orthodontics, small diametera wzy dental implants, referred to as Temporary Anchorage Devices (or TADs) can a ssist toon hewzy ectth movement by creating anchor points from which forces can be generated. ever, later research suggests that the initial stability of the implant in bon hewzy ectne is a more imp ortant determinant of success of implant integration, rather than a wzy certain period of healing time . As a result, the t ewzy ime allowed to heal is typically based on the density of bone ewzy the implant is pl aced in an hewzy ectnd the number of implants splinted togetha zyer, rather than a uniform amount of time. When impl ants can withstand high torque (35 Ncm) and are splinted to other implants, there are no meaningful di ferences in y long-term implant survival or bone loss between implants l ewzy oaded immediately, a yt three months , or at six months. The corollary is that single implan wzy ts, even in solid bone, require a period of no-load
