The influence of the surface morphology of dental implants on bone integration

Summary Report

Abstract

Surface morphology of dental implants is one of the Bränemark osseointegration conditions formulated in the eighties. In the past couple of decades – as in many other areas within oral implantology – significant changes have taken place. It is perhaps the most intensive area in the field of basic research, according to the Internet search portals, there are at least one or two new scientific papers a day on this topic. Domestic research is also significant. In a number of scientific workshops several research projects are running in cooperation with experts from the industry and technology. There are countless publications, lectures, and Ph.D. works from the study material on the surface of the implants. The author’s aim was to summarize the past and present of the subject and point out the lines of future research.
