Abstract

The use of osseointegrated dental implants has gained momentum, mainly in the last 20 years. Research and development in the field of implantology are constantly focusing on implant redesign to continue to try and improve implant success. The current aim of implant design is to address situations prone to failure, such as cases of low bone quality or cases of concomitant systemic diseases that compromise healing.
