Abstract
Due to its suitable mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and chemical properties, Titanium (Ti) and its alloys have been considered the gold-standard biomaterial in dentistry. To improve implant bioactivity and ensure their long-term success, the dental implants have been modified at the macro, micro, and nano scales. So far, the surface modification of dental implants at the nano-scale level has been targeted as a critical feature for peri-implantitis prevention. This chapter describes the latest nanoscale surface modification of dental implants, including physical, chemical, and electrochemical techniques. Furthermore, current technological limitations and future nanoscale surface modification strategies of dental implants are systematically addressed.
