ABSTRACT

The dental implant is associated with high long-term predictability for fixed rehabilitation in edentulous patients. The aim of the present review was to evaluate the state-of-art of dental implant surface treatment and their effect on osseointegration. The Pubmed/Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library databases has been screened to identify the histologic studies regarding the dental implant surfaces in vivo. The screening process revealed a total of 3173 papers with a total of 24 articles obtained by the manual search. A total of 482 duplicates have been removed and 2691 papers were assessed for the full-text evaluation. A total of 2527 articles were removed after the eligibility process and 149 articles were evaluated for the descriptive analysis. The implant osseointegration process is a complex combination of events that is oriented to an intimate interface between the dental implant surface and the host peri-implant tissues that oriented to produce a functional ankylotic relationship between the components under the masticatory loading.
