Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. www.iso.org/directives
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received. www.iso.org/patents
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers
to Trade (TBT), see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 106, Dentistry, Subcommittee SC 3, Terminology.
ISO is now publishing all its standards using a processing system that allows the production of
International Standards as XML files. With this new system, the terms and definitions from terminologies
and vocabularies are stored in the Online Browsing Platform (OBP) (www.iso.org/obp) where they can
be browsed free of charge by members of the public (but not downloaded).

Introduction
This terminology international standard has been prepared and is presented accordingly with
recommendations provided in
ISO 704, Terminology work — Principles and methods,
ISO 860, Terminology work — Harmonization of concepts and terms,
ISO 1087-1, Terminology work — Vocabulary — Part 1: Theory and application, and
ISO 10241-1, Terminological entries in standards — Part 1: General requirements and examples of
presentation.
Accordingly to ISO directives, ISO 704 and ISO 1087, this standard has been prepared and is presented
in a systematic approach. The systematic approach presents the advantage of being independent from
language, therefore allowing the same logical numbering in any language.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 16443:2014(E/F)
Dentistry — Vocabulary for dental implants systems and
related procedure
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies terms and definitions for dental implants and for instruments,
accessories, and the most commonly used clinical terms related to implant systems and procedures in
dentistry. Grafting materials and membranes are excluded from this International Standard.
The following devices are also excluded from the scope of this International Standard.
Device specially designed to be placed within, through or upon the bones of the cranio-facial complex,
the primary purpose of which is to provide anchorage for an epithesis (to replace for example: ears,
noses and parts of eyes and orbital regions):
— epithesis implant;
— craniofacial implant;
— maxillofacial implant.
Device specially designed to be placed within, through or upon the bones of the cranio-facial complex,
the primary purpose of which is to provide anchorage for an orthodontic appliance:
1)
— orthodontic implant .
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
