Research status of prosthodontic procedures

In the last decade, the success of osseointegration has encouraged dentists internationally to use titanium implants to assist in the replacement of tissue, ranging from a single tooth to facial prostheses. Investigations have focused on more sophisticated treatment planning, improved clinical procedures, selection of better materials, development of superior components, and reduced treatment time. The introduction of procedures from other industries has brought a new level of standardization and quality control to the fabrication of prostheses.
