Titanium Dental Implants Surface Modifications

Over the past three decades, implants have emerged as a reliable means of replacing partially and completely edentulous ridges. Since then attempts are being made to enhance osseointegration at the bone-implant interface. Just as the bones, implant surface plays equally important role in the process of osseointegration. The increasing research on implant surface modification has lead to a drastic change from macrotopographic to nanotopographic level of surface modification. Recent advances focus on the biomimetic alteration of the implant surface. All these advancements called for a textbook on implant surface modification. The main idea behind working on this book is to help undergraduate and postgraduate understand the topic in a much simpler way and also to update them with the day to day advancements happening relating to this topic. This book concises the results and information based on previous trials and reviews and encompasses a comprehensive coverage on various surface modification modatilities and provides an in-depth data regarding the past, present, and future of implant surface modificatons.
