Abstract
Dental implants have become the primary choice for repairing patients with tooth loss. The material used for implants has mostly been titanium and titanium alloys. These materials are known to have excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. However, the surface of titanium implants is easily invaded by pathogens, and infection is infected after implant surgery. After infection occurs around the implant, the alveolar bone is progressively destroyed, which in turn causes the implant to loosen and ultimately fall off. Therefore, there is a dire need for effective preventive measures to reduce the risk of implant-related infections. This article will systematically review passive antifouling anti-biofouling strategies, active bactericidal surface bactericidal modification strategies, and targeted dissipation strategies after biofilm formation, which is aimed at preventing implant infection. This article will systematically review passive antifouling strategies, active bactericidal surface bactericidal modification strategies, and targeted dissipation strategies after biofilm formation, which are all aimed at preventing implant infection.
