- Abstract
Dental implantology, as a part of dental medicine, is a modern science that deals with the placement of dental implants in a place where one or more teeth are missing, enabling the rehabilitation of the stomatognathic system, improving aesthetics, function, and occlusion. For this purpose, dental implants are used, from different manufacturers, with different shapes, diameters, sizes, and lengths. Important and desirable properties of the materials used for implant placement are: biocompatibility, bio inertness, bio functionality and bio adhesion. Implant companies always advertise a 95-99% success rate on their implants for their implantology system. Very rarely they talk about implant failure. The purpose of this paper is to indicate the influence of the implant surface modifications (the microtopography and micro design of the implants) on the osseointegration process success as well as the longterm success of the implant-prosthetic rehabilitation. There are differences between manufacturers in terms of materials and metal alloys they use in the implant production process, the type of surface of the implants, but also in the way they are cleaned and prevent possible contamination before they are put on sale. In this study, several types of implants, their surface characteristics, and the possible influence of contaminated implant surfaces on the success/failure of the implant were analyzed. To achieve the set goal, an electron microscope was used, which will allow a detailed analysis of the surface of the implants in three implant zones: apical, midline and implant neck. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a type of electron microscope that produces images of a sample by scanning its surface with a focused beam of electrons.
