Osteointegration

Osteointegration is the natural process where a metal implant, like a dental or orthopedic implant, fuses securely with the surrounding bone. This happens when the bone cells grow around and attach directly to the implant’s surface, creating a stable and durable connection. It’s similar to how a tree’s roots anchor firmly into the soil. This integration prevents movement of the implant, allowing it to function as a part of your body—supporting chewing in dental implants or bearing weight in joint replacements—leading to long-term stability and functionality.
