Osseointegration Dynamics: Insights into the Dental Bone-Implant Interface

The interface between a bone and an implant, referred to as the bone-implant interface (BII), plays a critical role in determining the success and long-term stability of dental implants. This comprehensive review delves into the various factors that influence the BII. The design of the implant and the treatments applied to its surface are fundamental factors that affect both the contact between the bone and the implant and the overall integration. Mechanical forces, such as compression and tension, have an impact on the integrity of the BII, while biological factors, including bone quality and growth factors, play a crucial role in orchestrating the healing process. Molecular mechanisms, involving cells like osteoblasts and osteoclasts, as well as signaling molecules, are essential for the process of osseointegration. Additionally, cell therapies, particularly Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) and Platelet-rich Plasma (PRP) show promise in enhancing the healing of the BII. these factors and exploring innovative techniques are of utmost importance for improving the outcomes of implant procedures and enhancing patient care in the field of implant dentistry. Continued research in these areas is set to advance our knowledge of osseointegration and its optimization, ultimately shaping the future of implantology.The interface between a bone and an implant, referred to as the bone-implant interface (BII), plays a critical role in determining the success and long-term stability of dental implants.
