Blade-Form or Plate-Form Though not as popular today as the root-form dental implants, the blade-form or plate-form dental implants are utilized in patients with limited bone mass in the area of desired treatment or if certain vital anatomical landmarks prevent root-form implants to be placed. In its utmost generic and simplistic description, a blade-form implant consists of one flat rectangular metal with one or two protruding prongs where it will support crowns or bridges. The "blade" side of the implant is the part that is inserted into the bone. Thanks to modern advances in medical and dental practice and technology, patients are often recommended to proceed with bone grafting procedure so that the limited bone mass could be "reconstructed" in order that root-form implants could be utilized.
