Abstract
High levels of predictability are present in regards with success of implants. Successful osseointegration in clinical terms relates to significant levels of vital bone at the implant-surgical interface, limited inflammation, and absence of micromotion at the implant-tissue interface. This study assesses the efficacy of silk biomaterial over conventional bone grafts on bone regeneration and osseointegration in and around implants. Systematic and comprehensive assessment of studies with fields of interest as bone grafts and silk biomaterials as a material of choice for osseointegration in and around dental implants from the PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, and Science Direct databases was done. The outcomes demonstrated that silk biomaterial is more efficient than bone grafts for osseointegration and bone regeneration in and around implants as it does not carry the risk of secondary infection. Furthermore, silk biomaterial influences osteoblasts and osteoclast cells for bone regeneration and growth. Bone grafts cannot be utilized for the patients having osteoporosis, due to its infectivity and invasiveness. Using silk biomaterial for osseointegration of implants is simple and cost-effective.
