Abstract

Patients who are edentulous lacks the mechanoreception which is mainly provided by the periodontal

periodontal ligament which provides feedback of magnitude, direction and rate of occlusal load application
for sensory perception. Tactile sensibility is seen to be developed in patients who are treated with
osseointegrated dental implants. This phenomenon is named as osseoperception. The aim of this article
is to evaluate the available literature to find osseoperception related to dental implants.
