Abstract
Long term clinical success of implants mainly depends upon the implant biomaterial selection. For optimal performance, implant biomaterials should have suitable biocompatibility, mechanical strength and structural biostability in physiologic environment. Every clinician should have a detailed knowledge about the advantages and disadvantages of each bio material. This article reviews the history of evolution of various implant biomaterials and their pros and cons in oral implantology applications.
