Z96.5: Presence of tooth-root and mandibular implants
You have a dental implant.
Every tooth consists of 3 sections: the crown, the tooth neck (cervix) and the tooth root. The crown is the visible part of the tooth. The tooth neck is covered by the gums. The tooth root keeps the tooth in the jawbone.
A dental implant can replace one or several teeth. The implant is anchored in the jawbone.
