Evolving architecture of dental implants for osseointegration

Dental implants are a multi-billion dollar industry. This presentation outlines the evolution of surface texturing of dental implants from plasma sprayed titanium and hydroxyapatite, to dual acid  and RBM blasting. The deficiencies of each technique are discussed so as to point to a roadmap for future surface treatment requirements.
