Abstract
This review discusses the basic building components of zirconia (zirconium dioxide) dental implants and discusses how to change them at the surface. It also discussed how to design processes for osseointegration procedures, surface treatment, and mechanical properties. Sandblasting, acid etching, and laser processing are a few of the treatments given to change the roughness of a surface to allow cells to bond and integrate well with bordering bone tissue. Removal torque tests (RTQs) show that zirconia and titanium implants coated on their surface are more stable than uncoated zirconia surfaces. One of these surface treatments that has proved to be effective in increasing bone-implant contact and transmission of mechanical load comparable to titanium implants is nanostructured surface engineering, bioactive molecule functionalization, and ceramic layer coating. Moreover, nanotechnology has been used to create antimicrobial nanocoatings using such materials as silver nanoparticles, antibiotics, and chitosan. The nanocoatings have been seen to be effective in treating the medical conditions commonly associated with implants, such as peri-implantitis and microbial biofilms. The enhanced antimicrobial action and osteogenic stimulation of the nanocoatings render the implants safe and effective. Nanotechnology thus presents an innovation in the bio-interaction modulation of dental implants and management of subsequent medical complications from common implant systems. Finally, nanotechnology significantly improves the toughness, biocompatibility, and clinical performance of zirconia dental implants.
