In the present scenario, dental implants have proven to be a very reliable and popular treatment option for partial and completely edentulous arches. The biological, chemical, local, clinician, and implant related factors determine sequence of bone turnover that eventually enhances the success of implant therapy. The positioning of implant is followed by an inflammatory process that results in de novo bone formation and deposition on the implant surface. Pure titanium is commercially the prime material of choice for an implant. The implant surface can be chemically altered by a change in manufacturing, finishing, thermal treatment, blasting etching, coatings, and even sterilization procedures. These techniques have led to major innovations in implant dentistry as they roughen the surface, promoting bone deposition and stability. The current paper gives a comprehensive review of the diverse topographical characteristics of an implant surface and the altered techniques offered to create appropriate roughness to enhance osseointegration starting from fundamental to the latest techniques. |
