Narrative review demonstrates how surface modifications accelerate dental implant osseointegration, highlighting the ongoing impact of biological remodeling and patient-specific risk factors.

Key Points

To synthesize current understanding of bone healing mechanisms around titanium, titanium alloy, and zirconia dental implants and assess factors contributing to long-term implant survival.
Synthesized preclinical animal investigations and clinical studies evaluating bone healing, surface topography, and surface chemistry across implant biomaterials.
Evaluated biological phases from initial woven bone formation through lifelong remodeling at the bone-implant interface.
Bone apposition initiates within approximately 1 week post-installation through intramembraneous osteogenesis, with continuous bone remodeling commencing between 6 and 12 weeks.
Micro-rough surfaces created by sandblasting and acid-etching, enhanced by hydrophilic chemical modifications, significantly accelerate osseointegration in titanium and zirconia systems.
Contemporary micro-rough implants maintain high long-term survival rates, though infrequent failures occur due to late-stage peri-implantitis or patient-specific factors such as immune-modulating medications.
