This book provides a comprehensive overview of dental implant design, tracing its evolution from early tooth replacement attempts to modern biologically integrated implant systems. It discusses the principles of osseointegration and the influence of biomaterials, implant macrodesign, microdesign, surface characteristics, and biomechanical factors on implant success. The book examines titanium and alternative biomaterials, surface modifications, thread geometry, implant-abutment connections, and stress distribution. Recent advances in digital dentistry, CAD/CAM, additive manufacturing, porous structures, and patient-specific implants are explored, highlighting their potential to improve biological integration, mechanical stability, and clinical outcomes. Novel implant designs and emerging regenerative strategies are also reviewed. Overall, the book emphasizes the integration of biological, mechanical, and digital innovations to achieve predictable osseointegration, preserve peri-implant tissues, and enhance the long-term success of implant therapy.
