The goal of modern dentistry is to restore the patient’s normal contour, function, comfort, esthetics, speech and health. In particular the field of implant dentistry has significantly changed over the years. With the on-going science and research in the field of implantology, treatment has moved on from single tooth implant replacements to complex restorations with multiple implant positioning, enhancing implant success and improving clinical outcomes. The long-term success of dental implants largely depends on rapid healing with safe integration into the jaw bone. Geometry and surface topography are crucial for the short and long-term success of dental implants. Implant surfaces have been developed in the last decade in a concentrated effort to provide bone in a faster and improved osseointegration process. Several surface modifications have been developed and are currently used with the aim of enhancing clinical performance.
