Summary

It has been seen that enhancing the characteristics of the surface of an implant with bioactive agents that seek to mimic the chemical and biological nature of native bone can influence osseointegration. This article seeks to describe biomimetic treatment strategies for dental implant surfaces that favor the bioactivity of implant materials. The search was performed in PUBMED and the Cochrane Library with the terms "biomimetic dental implants" or "biomimetic implants" obtaining 110 results. After analyzing each reference, it was determined that 11 articles coincide with the objective of this review, they provide data from ex- perimental studies, reviews, and clinical cases on different biomimetic strategies for surface treatment. Within the surface conditioning strategies with chemical substances, it is described that sandblasting and acid etching favor biocompatibility, cell differentiation and bone formation. Also, the use of coatings that allow the composition of the implant surface to approach the na- tural characteristics of bone tissue is favorably described. On the other hand, based on a biomimetic approach, implant surface coatings with different biomolecules such as growth factors, extracellular matrix proteins, peptides and drugs are described, with the constant objective of promoting osseointegration. Although studies indicate that implant surface treatments favor the osseointegration process, it is necessary to investigate mostly the use of biomolecules that combine the implant surface with the host environment.
