Unveiling the characteristics and surface modification of titanium, zirconia, and polyetheretherketone dental implants.
Review in Journal of dental sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Titanium, zirconia, and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) are among the most extensively studied materials in dental implantology, each offering unique properties that influence their clinical performance. This review systematically compared their physicochemical characteristics and their in vitro and in vivo behaviors. It also evaluated various surface modification techniques designed to enhance osseointegration and antibacterial properties. Titanium, recognized as the gold standard, is renowned for its exceptional mechanical strength and superior osseointegration, although it is associated with a higher risk of peri-implantitis. Zirconia, valued for its excellent aesthetics and compatibility with soft tissues, presents a promising metal-free alternative; however, its brittleness can limit its mechanical reliability. PEEK, a high-performance polymer, offers stress distribution and biocompatibility benefits, but it requires substantial surface modifications to improve its osseointegration capacities. Additionally, this review delved into the prevalence of peri-implantitis, clinical survival rates, and the impact of systemic conditions such as aging, osteoporosis, and diabetes on implant success. The findings underscored the critical importance of material-specific surface treatments and tailored modifications to ensure the long-term success of dental implants.
