Analysis of factors affecting agent effectiveness, including surface texture and delivery systems.

Main Results:

Four categories of bioactive agents (ceramics, proteins, ions, polymers) were identified for implant coating.
Specific agents like bone morphogenetic proteins, fluoride, and calcium phosphates show significant potential.
Commercial availability and clinical success exist for some agents, while others show high therapeutic promise.

Conclusions:

Biomimetic surface coatings can significantly enhance bone-to-implant contact and accelerate osseointegration.
Optimized agent delivery and surface characteristics are key to maximizing effectiveness.
These advancements hold potential for overcoming clinical challenges in implant dentistry.
