Biomaterials and its Role in Dentistry-A Review

Increasing success through modern techniques in implantology brought a new transformation in dentistry field to successfully replace missing teeth. To inflate the success rate, regular and continuous attempts are done to improve the materials, techniques for comprehensive understanding of implant behavior to the biological system. Biomaterials used for implants and brought in contact with the biological environment play the most symbolic role in the success of treatment modality. This has led for innovation/invention of new biomaterials. Efforts made by people through research studies have given rise to new biomaterials used in manufacturing of dental implants. In recent years, various biomaterials constructed and are surface modified to obtain better results. Therefore, it is the primary task of the dentist/clinician to look at all available information regarding the implant biomaterials for careful selection and use in implant dentistry.
