Recently, chemical, physical, and mechanical processes for the fabrication of
metal/alloy-ceramic nanocomposites with a unique microstructure have been
developed. These processes permit the control of microstructural properties such
as the size of pore openings, surfaces properties, and the nature of the base
metal/alloy. This book presents information about the structure and
characteristics of new dental nanomaterials, corrosion behavior of metallic
biomaterials and implants as well as methods of surface improvement of implants
by means of nanoengineering, which decides the biocompatibility of the insert.
It thoroughly explains the osseointegration from a biological viewpoint and
early tissue response.
