Different Implant Materials For Oral Implants

Ceramic materials: including bio-inert ceramics, bioactive ceramics, biodegradable ceramics, etc. They have the characteristics of high mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, no irritation and toxicity, and compatibility with tissues. They are also currently used clinically.
Carbon materials: including glassy carbon, low-temperature isotropic carbon, etc. The advantage is that they have high stability in the body and no biodegradation.
Metal and alloy materials: including gold, 316L stainless steel (iron-chromium-nickel alloy), cast cobalt-chromium alloy, titanium and alloys, etc. Its advantages are high strength and good rigidity, but poor biomechanical adaptability and tissue and bone adaptability.
Polymer materials: including acrylics, polytetrafluoroethylene, etc. Some polymer materials have a similar chemical structure to natural polymers in the human body structure, but are easily degraded and irritated by organisms.
Composite materials: that is, a composite of two or more of the above materials, such as ceramics sprayed on metal surfaces. Human teeth are often complex compounds containing complex components of organic and inorganic substances. The above-mentioned single materials are often unable to meet the requirements of organisms due to the limitation of single structure, so the application of composite materials has become more and more extensive, such as carbon-coated metal composite materials, porous-coated alumina materials, etc., which complement each other and make the performance more perfect.
