A Comprehensive Review of Surface Coatings for enhancement of Anti-Microbial and Anti-Corrosive Properties of Titanium Implant Surface

Abstract

Dental implants have revolutionized the field of restorative dentistry, providing a durable and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. Among various biomaterials, titanium has proven to be the most suitable material for dental implants because of its incredible biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and unique surface characteristics. This scientific write-up reviews the comprehensive overview of various surface modification techniques employed to improve the osseointegration, antimicrobial properties, surface topography, and anti-corrosion behavior of titanium as a dental implant biomaterial, highlighting its role in improving implant success rates and long-term clinical outcomes
