Abstract:
Background: Permanent tooth loss without replacement results in impaired chewing function, aesthetics, phonetics, and balance of the masticatory organs which can lead to more complex dental and oral health problems. Dental implants are the best treatment alternative today to restore masticatory function, aesthetics, and phonetics more perfectly. The use of implants allows tooth replacement that resembles the patient's previous natural teeth, both in terms of aesthetics and comfort. Until now, many types of materials have been studied and applied as dental implant materials.
Objective: This review aims to analyze the latest developments regarding materials used for dental implants.
Methods: A literature search was conducted on the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Cochrane, and Scopus databases until December 2023 using predetermined keywords and the results were limited to articles published in 2018-2023 with full-text open-access.
Conclusion: The selection of ideal implant material for patients can be adjusted to the patient's needs taking into account the physical, mechanical, and biocompatibility properties of the material.
Keywords:
