Background:

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are heterogeneous composites with a continuous compositional gradient, leading to varying properties.
FGMs are increasingly recognized for biomedical applications, particularly in implants, due to their advantageous compositions.
Dental implants benefit from functional grading to optimize mechanical behavior, biocompatibility, and osseointegration.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a comprehensive review of biomaterials and manufacturing techniques for Functionally Graded Materials (FGMs) in dental implants.
To summarize successful fabrication strategies and identify challenges in creating FGMs and porous FGMs for dental applications.
To bridge the gap between state-of-the-art FGM technology and clinical application for improved dental implant standards.
