Implant Materials: Topography and Their Influence in Osseointegration

With advancements in science and technology, edentulousness has been provided with a permanent solution in the form of dental implants. Implant materials have been evolving in various aspects to enhance their property of Osseointegration since their discovery. With research revealing the intense process of bone formation and biology around osseointegration, scientists have been experimenting with various compositions of alloys, allotropic forms, and commercially pure (cp) forms of titanium. Topographical modifications and their effect on new bone formations will be dealt with in this article.
