Dental implant
Implantology (from Latin in meaning 'into' and planta 'cutting,' and -logy from the Greek λόγος lógos 'word,' 'study,') is the term for the placement of dental implants by a dentist, specialist dentist in oral surgery, or oral and maxillofacial surgeons. With a license to practice, every dentist obtains permission to practice the full range of dentistry and thus also to place dental implants.
