Natural teeth and root form implants are compared from anatomical, physiological and materialmechanical aspects. PDL provides the natural dentition the stress distribution mechanism that is lacking in implants. Functions of the PDL include hydrodynamic vascular system, suspensory mechanism of the collagen fiber, and proprioceptive response. Physiologic mobility in the natural tooth is an adaptive response, while in implant excessive mobility is considered pathological. Material properties and designs of implants are largely different from natural teeth and their surrounding tissue. These factors are contributing to the crestal stress concentration found in implant. Two methods to overcome the problem associated with the …
