Abstract
Dental implants have been commonly used to replace missing teeth using titanium and other materials with various advancements in their composition and design. Recent studies have been focusing on the surface modification of dental implants, as it is crucial to enhance its biocompatibility and osteoconductive properties. Bioactive glass (BAG) can be used as a coating since it is a promising biomaterial for bone repair and regeneration, and it can be made through two main procedures: the fusion process and the sol–gel method. Different coating techniques are available yet only the plasma spraying technique has been used in biomaterials. BAG coating onto dental implants can form a strong bond with the bone within a short span of time and provide a surface for cells to attach to in order to proliferate, and deposit matrix added to its high bioactivity index. The procedure will achieve better implant osseointegration and reduce prosthetic corrosion. Therefore, it will increase the success and survival rate of dental implants.
