      Connecting bar: System between two or more implants to be utilized for stability for implant prosthesis.

      Dental implant: A biocompatible device placed in the bone to replace the root lost, preserve the bone level, and support the prosthesis.

      Dental implant abutment: The component part that screws directly into the implant to retain the crown, bridge, and/or overdenture prosthesis in place.

      Implant thread: The screw‐like component part of the body of the endosteal, root‐form implant.

      Osseointegration: The firm, direct, and lasting biological attachment of an implant to vital bone with no intervening connective tissue.

      Peri‐implant diseases: Collective term for inflammatory lesions that may affect the peri‐implant area, mucositis, and peri‐implantitis.

      Peri‐implant mucositis: A pathological condition occurring in the tissue around dental implants, inflammation similar to gingivitis, reversible, caused by bacteria, biofilm, or residue. Manifests in the form of redness and inflammation, in the peri‐mucosa, with no additional bone loss.

      Peri‐implantitis: A pathological condition occurring in tissue around dental implants, characterized by inflammation in the peri‐mucosa and progressive loss of supporting bone that can be irreversible.

      Periosteum: Fibrous vascular membrane that fits tightly on the outer surface of the bone.

      Permucosal seal: The tissue seal that separates the connective tissues from the outside environment around a dental implant.

      Prosthesis: The removable or nonremovable restoration that attaches to the implant to replace the teeth.

      TADs: Titanium mini‐screws used primarily by Orthodontists in the facilitation of moving teeth or anchoring an orthodontic appliance.

      According to Dr. Nogueira‐Filho et al., writing in 2010 (1), “There is no reason to believe that mucosal inflammation affecting endosseous implant (i.e., periimplant mucosal inflammation) would have fewer effects on general health than similar levels of inflammation affecting teeth (i.e., periodontitis, gingivitis).” Therefore, it is imperative that hygienists are trained in identifying and treating periimplant mucosal inflammation that could affect overall body health. The explosion of dental implants over the next decade will change the way we practice dental hygiene.
