Role of Surface Geometry of Dental Implants on Osseointegration-Revisited


, ,
Abstract

The success of a dental implant depends on the rate and quality of osseointegration. The surface geometry of dental implants is a very important factor for osseointegration, which means stimulation of osteoblast cells to form bone on implants of the dental surface. The morphology surface and chemistry are the two important factors that determine the osseointegration of dental implants. They are made of different materials like Titanium, PEEK, and Zirconia. There are many addition and subtraction technologies are available to modify the surface characteristic of dental implants like acid etching, blasting, fluoride treatment, anodic oxidation, and calcium phosphate coating to facilitate osseointegration. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages. There is no scientific evidence hence, a literature search of Pubmed, Scopus, and Google scholar was done from January 1965 to December 2020 using the keywords surface treatment of dental implants, dental implants, and osseointegration. In addition to that, a manual search was done on standard refereed dental journals like the Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, International Journal Prosthodontics, Journal of prosthodontics, Indian Journal of Dental Research, Indian Journal of Prosthodontic Society, and International Journal of Implant Research from 2000 to 2020.
