Dental Implants: Materials, Coatings, Surface Modifications and Interfaces with Oral Tissues

The incidence of dental implants is rising and practitioners are under increasing pressure to ensure that implants are safe and functional. Understanding the science and engineering behind the manufacturing of implants and surface coating technologies is key to achieving biocompatible and durable dental implants. Dental Implants: Materials, Coatings, Surface Modifications and Interfaces with oral tissues provides readers with information on past and contemporary advances in the design and modification of dental implants to enhance osseointegration and biocompatibility.The book begins with a look at the current status of dental implants, materials and fabrication methods. Chapters then cover surface modification techniques and a variety of inorganic, organic and biological coatings. The book concludes with essential information on the tissue-implant interfaces.Written by a multi-disciplinary team of materials scientists, dental clinicians and implantologists, this book is an essential reference for materials scientists, dental practitioners and researchers and students in academia. Covers all aspects related to dental implants, including implant materials science, their fabrication, surface coatings and their clinical applicationsProvides detailed information on surface modification on surfaces coated with inorganic, organic and biological materialsDiscusses the modification of dental implants, including implant-bone interaction enhanced by coatings on dental implant surfacesWritten by a multidisciplinary team of materials scientists, dental clinicians and Implantologists INDICE: Introduction to Dental Implants (Past, Present and Future)Titanium, Zirconia & Polyethyletherketone (PEEK) as a Dental Implant MaterialDesign and Fabrication of the Dental Implants Surface Modification TechniquesHydroxyapatite and Nanocomposite CoatingsBioactive Glass Based CoatingsProteins and Peptides Coatings on Dental Implant Surfaces Therapeutic agents and Growth Factors coating on Dental Implant Silica-based antibacterial coatings for Dental ImplantsDrugs Eluting Dental Implants Hard and Soft Tissues Interface with Dental ImplantsTissue Regeneration aspects and dental implantsChallenges and future trends
