Abstract
Implant dentistry has enjoyed an exploding number of new applications, techniques, materials, and devices since the early 1980s. In part, the acceptance of implant therapy has come about through the high success rates of the conventional surgical and restorative protocols. In an effort to increase the predictability of this therapy, especially with the emphasis on early and immediate loading, there has been an ongoing evolution in implant surface technologies and biomechanics. The market has seen the acceptance of some form of a roughened surface implant being sold by every major manufacturer. The future applications of surface technologies will see the continuing evolution to a biologic manipulation of bone and soft tissue chemistry for the long-term dental health of the patient.
