Surface Treatment of dental implants: A review

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2

Abstract

In present scenario, Dental implants serve as very promising and popular tooth replacement option for the missing natural tooth. Success or failure probabilities of implant are guided by certain local and systemic factors. Initial interaction between implants and surrounding biological tissues depends on the surface characterstics. Surface roughness in particular has attracted huge attention in the past few years to aid in achieving beneficial interaction between the implant and bone. Various attempts have been made to treat implant surface by different materials and methods so as to induce rapid osseointegration. Although such researches claim that these treatments aid in bone healing especially during early healing phase after implant surgery but implant selection should be guided by evidence available and particular case requirement. Present paper reviews the literature on different surface treatments by analyzing various studies about different options available nowadays.
