What biological process allows the Endosteal Implant to form a strong bond with the jawbone?

Osseointegration

Osseointegration is the essential biological mechanism that dictates the long-term success of standard dental implants, particularly the Endosteal type. This process involves the living jawbone gradually fusing directly with the material of the implant post, which is typically a titanium alloy. This direct structural and biological bond creates an exceptionally strong foundation, effectively mimicking the relationship between a natural tooth root and the surrounding bone. Without successful osseointegration, the implant cannot bear functional loads, regardless of how perfectly it was initially placed surgically. The body's acceptance of the material, known as biocompatibility, is a prerequisite that enables this fusion to occur efficiently.
