Innovative technologies of dental prosthetics in the 21st century

Abstract

Dental implants constitute an important achievement of modern dentistry. The in-depth research into their up-to-date types, advantages and challenges in application allows us to gain a better understanding of patients’ needs and thus to improve the quality of life outcomes, which renders the present research relevant. The novelty of this work consists in the authors’ consideration of the phenomenon of dental implants from different perspectives, critical analysis and synthesis of available scholarly literature, which contributes to the extension of scientific knowledge upon this issue. The aim of the research is to design a framework of dental prosthetic technologies, which are available nowadays, and to develop a diagnostic algorithm for patients to facilitate the process of prosthetics prescription and implementation.
