Abstract:

The surface features of dental implants are critical to their effectiveness because they affect the osseointegration process and biological interactions. This paper examines the many approaches to surface characterization of dental implants with a focus on additive and subtractive methods. The efficiency of subtractive techniques, such as laser microtexturing, sandblasting, acid etching, and anodization, in enhancing surface roughness and biocompatibility is examined. By using these methods, microstructural characteristics that promote cell adhesion and quicken osseointegration can be produced. The potential of additive techniques, including coatings made of zirconia and hydroxyapatite or calcium phosphate, to improve bone integration and production, is investigated. The evaluation also emphasizes how various implant manufacturers apply surface changes and cutting-edge technologies, which are critical for maximizing implant longevity and performance. The use of nanoparticles such as titanium dioxide, zirconium dioxide, and zinc oxide in recent developments in implant surface coatings is highlighted because of their potential to improve bioactivity and address issues such peri-implantitis. Enhancing antibacterial qualities and bone healing with the addition of chitosan and copper and silver nanoparticles is a potential strategy. In summary, this research highlights the significance of accurate surface characterization and continuous technological progress in improving the longevity and efficacy of dental implants. Subsequent investigations ought to concentrate on enhancing these techniques and converting discoveries into better medical results.
