Biomimetic Surface Engineering Strategies for Enhanced Osseointegration and Peri-Implant Bone Regeneration: A Systematic Review.
Review in Biomimetics (Basel, Switzerland), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThis systematic review aimed to evaluate the effects of biomimetic surface engineering strategies applied to dental implants on osseointegration and peri-implant bone regeneration compared with conventional implant surfaces. MATERIALS AND
methodsA comprehensive literature search was conducted in the Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus databases in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines, covering the period from January 2021 to January 2026. A total of 12 studies, including in vivo animal experiments and in vitro investigations, that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. Risk of bias assessment was performed using the SYR-CLE tool and the ARRIVE guidelines.
resultsBiomimetic strategies, including laser texturing, sulfonation, bioactive coatings, and growth factor/peptide functionalization (e.g., BMP-2, FGF-2, and PRF), significantly increased bone-implant contact (BIC), new bone volume (BV/TV), and biomechanical stability (pullout strength and reverse torque) compared to conventional surfaces. These surfaces enhance fixation under conditions of low bone density, such as osteoporosis, and improve infection resistance through antibacterial activity. In addition, these modifications enhance cellular adhesion, osteogenic differentiation, angiogenesis, and immune modulation.
conclusionsCurrent experimental evidence suggests that biomimetic implant surface engineering transforms dental implants from passive biomaterials into multifunctional bioactive interfaces capable of simultaneously regulating osteogenesis, immune response, angiogenesis, and antibacterial activity. Although promising outcomes have been demonstrated in preclinical studies, standardized long-term human clinical studies are still required to validate translational potential and long-term clinical efficacy.
