On-Site Surface Functionalization for Titanium Dental Implant with Nanotopography: Review and Outlook
Table 1
Advantages and disadvantages of on-site surface functionalization for Ti dental implant.
| | Advantages | Disadvantages |
| NTAPP | Superhydrophilicity | Safety issues | Preservation of microtopography/nanotopography | Lack of in vivo and clinical data for help of osseointegration | Short treatment time (less than 1 minute) | Lack of safety data | Decontamination effect | | Antifouling effect | | Increase of periodontal tissue healing and sealing with implant | | A lot of in vitro data | |
| UV | Hydrophilicity, superhydrophilicity depending on the treatment time | Long treatment time (few hours) | Preservation of microtopography/nanotopography | Lack of clinical data as on-site treatment method | Relatively good clinical safety | Possible damage to soft tissue | Decontamination effect | | Antifouling effect | | A lot of in vitro and in vivo data | |
| LLLT | Hydrophilicity | Long treatment time (few hours) | Preservation of microtopography/nanotopography | Lack of data for help of osseointegration | Great clinical safety with safety instrument | Lack of cellular mechanism |
