Prosthetic

A prosthetic is an artificial body part, added to any living organism in order to replace a damaged body part, enhance a body part or provide a permanent new capability for the being.

Prosthetics are used in humans in the main to reduce disability, although as technology continues to advance there are moves towards using them to augment the body over the natural norms. Additionally several prosthetic directions such as neuroprosthetics, are used increasingly as VR and AR interface methods.

Large Image Display: Teeth Designed for Prosthetic Jaws
The difficulties of implanting a prosthesis deep into the body don't end when the prosthetic is in-place and working. You have to think about the systems that depended on the piece that was removed, to function properly. In the case of a prosthetic jaw, what do you do about the teeth?
