In recent years the dental field has evolved incredibly due to the introduction of digital
technology. Thanks to new devices such as intraoral and facial scanners, different clinical
procedures have been facilitated by reducing clinical steps and…

The discipline of dental implantology is one of the scientific medical/dental fields that are moving dynamically very fast. Not to mention the multiple specialties involved in managing the service as well as the research production. As much as it is…

In the past, osseointegration was regarded to be a mode of implant anchorage that simulated a simple wound healing phenomenon. Today, we have evidence that osseointegration is, in fact, a foreign body reaction that involves an immunologically derived…

This special issue provides a current snapshot of recent advances and ongoing challenges in the development of titanium alloys for biomedical implants and devices. Titanium offers significant advantages over other materials including higher strength…

Dental implant treatments are widely used and can be an option for lost teeth. Most treatment alternatives are limited due to bone structure, bone density, and patient’s health condition. This book is focused on simple and complicated clinical cases,…

Almost all fields of dentistry are closely related to newly developed materials, and all clinical improvements often follow, or, in any case, go hand in hand with the creation and the development of innovative and higher performing materials,…

An amputee patient is a patient who has lost not only a part of his body but also the annexed function. The loss of an eye, an arm, or a dental element entails a loss of function reflected in a systemic adaptation by the organism to compensate for…

Recently, the development of coatings of implant and bone surfaces has received a significant
amount of interest. The coating of implants may enhance osseointegration. Moreover, coating the
surface of implants may provide antimicrobial effects.…

This Special Issue of Nanomaterials explores the recent advances and trends with respect
to nano-engineered strategies towards dental implant applications. A dental implant
microenvironment is complex, and an implantation surgery results in a local…
