Woven bone is composed of randomly arranged collagen bundles and irregularly shaped vascular spaces lined by osteoblasts. Primarily, there are three types of bone: woven bone, cortical bone, and cancellous bone 1. Osteoblasts are involved in bone formation, osteoclasts in bone resorption and osteocytes are mature osteoblasts trapped within the bone matrix. The endosteum is a single layer of osteogenic cells, lacking a fibrous component 2. A thinner, poorly defined inner layer called the “osteogenic layer” is made up of osteogenic cells. The thick outer layer, termed the “fibrous layer,” consists of irregular, dense connective tissue. The periosteum is a tough, vascular layer of connective tissue that covers the bone but not its articulating surfaces. The bone is covered by periosteum, a layer known as the mother of bone. The cellular components of bone consist of osteogenic precursor cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes, and hematopoietic elements of bone marrow 1. Biological aspect of boneīone is a dynamic tissue.

In the following sections, we shall study in detail the bone considerations in implantology. A detailed knowledge of different aspects of bone is essential for long-term implant success. Primary stability of the implant has been proposed to be the most important factor responsible for the success of implant therapy, which is primarily determined by the density of the bone. A lot of research work has taken place to determine the success of implants placed in different quality and quantity of bone. Bone is a dynamic biological tissue composed of metabolically active cells that are integrated into a rigid framework.

Bone quality and quantity plays an important role in the long-term success of implant therapy. Since the introduction of the concept of osseointegration, remarkable changes have taken place in implant dentistry.
