Osteointegration, or the structural and functional union of the dental implant's surface with the
surrounding bone, is essential to the device's performance both now and in the future. In recent years,
structural changes to the implant surface, especially at the nanoscale level, have allowed for the
manipulation of osteoblast adhesion and spreading, which has improved bone formation at the bone-
implant interface. To create the greatest dental implant technology, conventional chemical and physical
processes are used in novel ways. The most popular manufacturing processes, together with the
associated cell-surface interactions and regulation, are summarized in this article. To find research on
implant surface nanostructuration and the biological interactions associated with it, a Medline and manual
search were performed. The significance of the nanometric surface alterations on dental implants was
emphasized in this article. Since the encouraging outcomes shown in animals and in vitro have not yet
been verified in people, there is currently limited proof of the long-term advantages of nanofeatures.
Nonetheless, there is no denying the growing interest in nanotechnology, and more studies will be
released in the next years.
