摘      要：Many implant materials have been used in various dental applications depending on their efficacy and availability. A dental implant must possess the required characteristics, such as biocompatibility, corrosion & wear resistance, adequate mechanical properties, osseointegration, etc., to ensure its safe and optimum use. This review analyzes various aspects of titanium (Ti) and Ti alloys, including properties, manufacturing processes, surface modifications, applications as dental implants, and limitations. In addition, it also presents a perception of recent advances in Ti-based implant materials and the futuristic development of innovative dental implants.
