Surface Treatment of the Dental Implant on the Osseointegration

The Effect of Surface Treatment of the Dental Implant on the Osseointegration in Mandibular Posterior Missing Teeth

Dental implants have become a widely accepted treatment modality for the replacement of missing single or multiple teeth in the recent years. In order to meet patients' needs for shorter treatment times and the necessity of dealing with more challenging clinical situations, implants and implant therapies have undergone continuous improvement to improve the function and longevity of the implants. Recently the constant search for improvements in modern implant have been focused on surface modifications so a new era of surface treatment have been showed up; the chemically modified hydrophilic surfaces.
