Dental implants may be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason. Endosteal (in the bone): This is the most commonly used type of implant.
Lamellar structure. A schematic of a lamellar structure for a eutectic system. Lamellar structures or microstructures are composed of fine, alternating layers of different materials in the form of lamellae. They are often observed in cases where a phase transformation front moves quickly, leaving behind two solid products, as in rapid cooling of eutectic (such as solder) or eutectoid (such as pearlite) systems.
lamella. 1. a thin scale or plate, as of bone. 2. a medicated disk or wafer to be inserted under the eyelid. adj., adj lamelÂ´lar. circumferential lamella one of the bony plates that underlie the periosteum and endosteum. concentric lamella haversian lamella.endosteal lamella one of the bony plates lying beneath the endosteum. ground lamella interstitial lamella. haversian lamella one of the concentric bony plates surrounding a haversian canal.intermediate lamella (interstitial lamella) one of the bony plates that fill in between the haversian systems.ircumferential lamella one of the bony plates that underlie the periosteum and endosteum. concentric lamella haversian lamella. endosteal lamella one of the bony plates lying beneath the endosteum. ground lamella interstitial lamella. haversian lamella one of the concentric bony plates surrounding a haversian canal.
