Dental Implants

Dental Implants: Materials, Coatings, Surface Modifications and Interfaces with Oral Tissues provides readers with information on past and contemporary advances in the design and modification of dental implants to enhance osseointegration and biocompatibility. The book begins with a look at the current status of dental implants, materials and fabrication methods. Chapters then cover surface modification techniques and a variety of inorganic, organic and biological coatings. Final sections cover tissue-implant interfaces. Written by a multidisciplinary team of materials scientists, dental clinicians and implantologists, this book is an essential reference for materials scientists, dental practitioners and researchers and students in academia. - Covers all aspects related to dental implants, including implant materials science, their fabrication, surface coatings and their clinical applications - Provides detailed information on surface modification on surfaces coated with inorganic, organic and biological materials - Discusses the modification of dental implants, including implant-bone interaction enhanced by coatings on dental implant surfaces - Written by a multidisciplinary team of materials scientists, dental clinicians and Implantologists
