Dental Implants: Materials, Coatings, Surface Modifications and Interfaces with Oral Tissues provides readers with information on past and contemporary advances in the design and modification of dental implants to enhance osseointegration and biocompatibility. The book begins with a look at the current status of dental implants, materials and fabrication methods. Chapters then cover surface modification techniques and a variety of inorganic, organic and biological coatings. Final sections cover tissue-implant interfaces. Written by a multidisciplinary team of materials scientists, dental clinicians and implantologists, this book is an essential reference for materials scientists, dental practitioners and researchers and students in academia.

• Covers all aspects related to dental implants, including implant materials science, their fabrication, surface coatings and their clinical applications
• Provides detailed information on surface modification on surfaces coated with inorganic, organic and biological materials
• Discusses the modification of dental implants, including implant-bone interaction enhanced by coatings on dental implant surfaces
• Written by a multidisciplinary team of materials scientists, dental clinicians and Implantologists

Abstract

Dental implants are devices that are surgically inserted into the maxillary and/or mandibular alveolar bone restoring lost teeth. Ideally, dental implants should have a direct contact with the bone: a phenomenon known as osseointegration. In order to improve the osseointegration, a variety of modifications in the implant surface have been investigated such as surface treatments and surface coatings. Although, the earliest use of dental implants can be traced back to the ancient civilizations, over the past few decades, there have been numerous advancements in the science of dental implant biomaterials and theier clinical applications. The aim of this book is not only to provide an overview of those advancements but also provide the reader an insight into the probable future of dental implant materials, including various surface treatments and coatings on titanium implants.
