Over the years implant design by various researchers have been introduced as well as modification to the surface of titanium being used .The field of surface modification is vast and constantly evolving to keep up with technology . The aim of the present review was to elaborate on the surface modifications of biomaterials which are used in implant dentistry and to introduced the contemporary knowledge about the influencing factors affecting the osteointegration process of dental implants, analyze the currently available techniques for implant surface modification and their limitations, and also discuss the future trends in surface bioengineering and nanotechnology for improving the osseointegration and consequently enhance their biological performance.
