Which implant type is most commonly used in clinical dentistry?

Endosteal implants (placed within the bone) are by far the most commonly used implant type today, accounting for the vast majority of implant placements worldwide. They are available in various forms including root-form (cylindrical/threaded screw type), blade type, and ramus frame implants. The screw-type endosteal implant is the gold standard. Subperiosteal implants (placed under the periosteum on top of the bone) are rarely used today due to complications. Transosteal implants (passing completely through the mandible) are almost obsolete. Intramucosal implants are not widely used.
