Nanotechnology is a relatively newer field of science that is finding enormous scope in the dental & medical science. Use of endosseous dental implant surfaces having nano-scale topography is fast becoming part of modern implantology. The purpose of this review is to discuss and understand the role of nanoscale surface modification of titanium materials for the purpose of improving various phases of implantology including osseointegration. Nanotechnology equips bioengineers with newer ways of interacting with relevant biological processes. On the other hand, the field of nanotechnology provides means of understanding and achieving cell specific functions. An understanding of the role of nano-topography leads to the significant osseointegration modulations by nanoscale modification of the implants surface. Use of nanotechnology to modify the topography of titanium endosseous implant can drastically improve cellular and tissue responses that may benefit osseointegration and dental implant procedures.
纳米技术是一个相对较新的科学领域，在牙科和医学领域有着广阔的应用前景。具有纳米级形貌的骨内牙种植体表面的应用正迅速成为现代种植学的一部分。本综述的目的是讨论和理解钛材料纳米级表面改性在改善包括骨整合在内的种植学各个阶段中的作用。纳米技术为生物工程师提供了与相关生物过程相互作用的新方法。另一方面，纳米技术领域提供了理解和实现细胞特定功能的手段。对纳米形貌作用的理解可通过对种植体表面进行纳米级改性实现显著的骨整合调节。利用纳米技术改变钛骨内种植体的形貌可大幅改善细胞和组织反应，这可能有益于骨整合和牙种植手术。
