When implantology first started, the techniques intended to treat patients were divided into two operational periods, separated between four to six months. Dental implants may now be loaded and inserted during the same surgical process. Improvements in surgical technique, changes in implant design, superior implant manufacturing quality, innovations in surgical equipment quality, meticulous patient screening, and proper implant surface treatment are some of the reasons for this shift. The clinical findings demonstrate that treating at-risk patients and minimizing healing time depend on proper surface treatment. It is possible to greatly enhance the surface characteristics of dental implants during the manufacturing process, as well as during the loading of the dental implants into the osteotomy site which will impact the activity of cells during the healing phase and ultimately influence the host tissue response—a crucial prerequisite for clinical success. Numerous studies have demonstrated the significance of these surface modifications in enhancing implant effectiveness. To create a microporous structure with nanoscale architecture, enhanced bioactivity, hydrophilicity, and antibacterial qualities, a number of methods have been proposed to alter the implant surface topography and surface chemistry. The various surface types of dental implants and their effects on osseointegration are the main topics of this review.
