Implant anchorage.


Explanation:
With your scant context it is only a guess, what worries me though is that you said it is placed 'over' an implant, which is not the case.

I can't specify it better without sending the article. I will have to create my own solution with a phrase in conference with the author. Your suggestion is simply uninformed. Thanks very much for trying. Sorry to have bothered you.

neutral  MMUlr: A rather general term "anchorage" (in this case, there is another mechanism of securing the implant already "anchored" in the bone) - But most important is here: asker did not give us any more context, so a proper translation is not possible IMO.

Explanation:
@Edward, to me, it is always disappointing if one cannot find an approach to a suitable translation ...

But surely there is no need to send a complete article on the subject - however, providing more than just a single technical term is IMO always possible without revealing too much information.
See e.g. this dental question: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/970968

The term in the context of the original German sentence, that would allow a contribution which would be more than just guesswork. :-)

A Happy New Year 2006 from Germany!
