Nanoengineering and Surface Modifications of Dental Implants

Cureus. 2024 Jan 2;16(1):e51526. doi: 10.7759/cureus.51526. eCollection 2024 Jan.

Abstract

Dental implants are one of the most important and successful advancements in modern dentistry. One aspect of dental implant design that influences the rate and degree of osseointegration is implant surface features. Nano-engineering techniques are anticipated to improve titanium dentistry implants' surface characteristics, which in turn promote peri-implant osteogenesis. In this paper, we review the recent advances in nanosurface engineering techniques for enhancing the bioactivity of dental implants.

Keywords: dental implant; implant nanoengineering; implant surface; implant surface modification; implantology.
