👉 The term "odontoids" is a medical term that refers to various types of dental implants. Odontoid implants are small, artificial teeth made from bone and plastic that are attached to the jawbone of an adult tooth using titanium or other materials. These implants can be used to replace missing teeth in patients with oral health issues such as gum disease, tooth decay, or lost teeth. They are typically placed on the jawbone under a surgeon's guidance during a procedure called an implantation.
