Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: Dental implantation is one of effective method to repair defect and dentition. Therefore, it has wide perspective for clinical application. This study was designed to evaluate physicochemical property and clinical application of dental implant materials.METHODS: A computer-based online search was conducted in Medline for English language publications containing the key words of "dental implant, biocompatibility" from January 1999 to November 2009. Relevant data were also searched from CNKI with the same key words in Chinese from January 1999 to November 2009.RESULTS: With the development of medical materials, metal, ceramics, high polymer, composite materials, and nano-materials played important roles in dental implantation. Biochemical function, including biological morphology and correlation with adjacent soft and sclerous tissues, of the implanted teeth becomes a hot topic in modern tooth implantation. Nanometer technique, as a novel technique of living and life materials, becomes a hot research in oral implantology.CONCLUSION: Varying materials have been applied for tooth implantation, while nano-materials are developing for replacing traditional implant materials.
