Abstract

Aim: The objective of this article is to review the evolution and advancement of biomaterials in the dental sector, especially the development of biomaterials for dental implants, while also focusing on their biocompatibility properties and assessment procedures. Background: Biomaterials are rapidly developing new classes of materials, particularly in the fields of medicine and materials engineering. Dentistry exerts special demands on the materials used to repair damaged hard tissues, like teeth and bones, as well as damaged soft tissues. In terms of their physical, chemical, and biological activities, a variety of materials are being used with potential benefits and drawbacks. Review results: The dental care sector is benefiting from the growth of biomaterials with specialized properties. Titanium (Ti) and its alloys, zirconia (Zr), and a few biopolymers are the most commonly utilized biomaterials. These materials are suitable for usage due to their anticorrosion, mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and nontoxicity properties. In allergic people, these materials can cause inflammation, bone loss, and pain, despite their widespread use. Conclusion: These biomaterials have received considerable attention given their numerous potential uses in the medical field and their advantages in the long-term safety of implants. It is very important to choose a material that meets the requirements for biocompatibility and has a low risk and a high benefit-to-risk ratio. Clinical significance: As the world recognizes the superior functional features of one material over another, the dentistry industry is transitioning to the idea of material advantage. In light of this, there has to be additional investigation into the materials’ individual performance in reducing allergic reactions in people with consistent success.
