Abstract

Here review highlights a brief, chronological sequence of the history of dental implants. Historical perspective begins with ancient civilizations and spotlights predominant dentists and their contributions to implant development through various ages of time immemorial. A dental implant (also known as an endosseous implant or fixture) is a surgical component that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor. Chemical, physical and biologic properties of various dental implant surfaces and coatings include an overview of machined implants, etched implants, and sand-blasted implants.
