This article presents a comparative analysis of the main biomaterials used in dental
implants, highlighting their properties related to osseointegration, biocompatibility, and
clinical performance. Classic materials such as titanium and its alloys are discussed, as well
as emerging alternatives like zirconia. Based on a critical review of recent scientific studies,
the article examines the interaction between these biomaterials and bone tissue, their
immunological responses, and clinical implications. The study emphasizes the role of surface
modifications and technological advancements in optimizing outcomes in implant dentistry.
The presented data aim to support evidence-based decision-making in the selection of the most
appropriate material for contemporary clinical practice.
