Implant‐abutment connection incorporating a movable or flexible interpositional component intended to modify or reduce the load transferred from the prosthesis to the underlying implant and its surrounding bone. A connector intended to simulate mobility of the periodontal ligament.  

Bone formation in which connective tissue serving as a membrane becomes a template for bone deposition without any intermediate formation of cartilage.

A similar process takes place in healing of bone…
