The elderly patients are the ones who receive majority of the implant based treatment and interventions. These elderly patients pose a challenge not because of local bone and the tissue conditions but also due to systemic co-morbidities. The implant systems with surface modifications aim to aid in early osseo-integration and offer larger surface are for osseous integration thus enhancing the longevity of the survival of the implants. The review concludes that bioctive surfaces offer better outcomes but further long term studies are needed.
