Surface Roughness of Dental Implant and Osseointegration

Dental implants are a usual treatment for the loss of teeth. The success of this therapy is due to the predictability, safety and longevity of the bone-implant interface. Dental implant surface characteristics like roughness, chemical constitution, and mechanical factors can contribute to the early osseointegration. The aim of the present article is to perform a review of the literature on surface roughness of dental implant and osseointegration.
