Dental Implants are structures that are implanted into the gum or bone to help support tooth replacements. Over the past centuries, a spectrum of designs have come and gone in man's pursuit to permanently replace teeth.

Man has been quite ingenious in developing tooth replacements independent of other teeth. Egyptians buried gold roots into the gums. Thousands of years later, dentists drilled holes into the gums to snap removable dentures in for additional retention. In Europe and America, dentists started to open the gums, drill troughs into the bone and place metal structures to support teeth. These dental implants were shaped as flat plates or vents and were usually subject to biting forces shortly after placement.
