Abstract

Implant dentistry has grown leaps and bounds over decades and currently it is at an unprecedented peak. Especially this decade has witnessed huge leaps forward in techniques, technologies, materials, concepts and philosophies of implant treatment. In less than just a few decades, dental implants have moved from the fringes of dentistry to the mainstream. Indeed, dental implants are now utilized in situations not foreseen even a decade ago. We need to reflect on the many significant developments in dental implants technology which offer better and a more satisfying treatment option to our patients. This article reviews the merits of current technologies as well as throws light onto the future of the implant speciality.
