Utilization of laser technology in surface coating of zirconia implants: Scoping review

Background: Zirconia is a leading material in dental implantology, known for its high biocompatibility, good esthetics, and corrosion resistance. However, zirconia implants face major challenges in osseointegration due to their relatively smooth surface properties. Laser surface modification is an attempt to improve the performance of zirconia implants. Objective: identify the role of laser technology in the fabrication of zirconia implants. Methods: Search in electronic databases in the form ofWiley Online Library,PubMed, Scopus, and BMC with the keyword "laser technology AND implants AND zirconia”with a period of time when the journal was published in the last 5 years. Conclusion: Laser technology has been proven to effectively improve the mechanical and biological properties of zirconia dental implants to prevent peri-implantitis and increase stability.
