Abstract
Implants have been gaining popularity amongst the patients and frequently are being considered as a first treatment option. Modern dentistry is beginning to understand, realize, and utilize the benefits of biotechnology in health care. Study of material sciences along with the biomechanical sciences provides optimization of design and material concepts for surgical implants. Biocompatibility is property of implant material to show favorable response in given biological environment. In attempt to replace a missing tooth many biomaterials have been evolved as implants for many years in an effort to create an optimal interaction between the body and the implanted material. With all the advancements and developments in the science and technology, the materials available for dental implants also improved. The choice of material for a particular implant application will generally be a compromise to meet many different required properties. There is, however, one aspect that is always of prime importance that how the tissue at the implant site responds to the biochemical disturbance that a foreign material presents.
