Abstract

Even though dental implants are highly successful, there are still clinical situations where new developments in implant coatings could improve implant stabilization, bone formation, and long-term implant performance. Significant improvements were obtained when the surface topography of the implants were changed from smooth to a moderately rough surface, and in the future we expect that inorganic or organic nanocoatings could improve the clinical outcome also in compromised bone sites. Various bioactive coatings have been tested in vitro and in vivo, and the biological knowledge increases, but still no evidence exist that nanocoatings are able to significantly improve clinical outcome.
