Implant materials, design, and surface topographies: their influence on osseointegration of dental implants.
The purpose of this review is to describe commonly used dental implants with reference to their material composition, design factors, and surface topographies. The review includes a discussion of the biological principle of osseointegration and how this process of bone-implant interaction is influenced by different implant materials, designs, and surface characteristics
