Abstract—Trauma, degeneration and diseases often make surgical repair or replacement necessary. When a person has a joint pain, the main concern is the relief of pain and return to a healthy, normal and functional life style. This usually requires replacement of skeletal parts that include knees, hips, finger joints, elbows, vertebrae, teeth and repair of the mandible. Biomaterial is available and suitable for inclusion in systems which augment or replace the function of body tissues or organs. From as early as a century ago, artificial materials and devices have been developed to a point where they can replace various tissues of the human body. These materials are capable of being in contact with body fluids and tissues for prolonged periods of time, with little or without any adverse reactions. In this paper, there are presented new biomaterials that can be used to manufacture dental implants and restorations, like Fe alloys, Co alloys, Ti pure and Ti alloys, Ti-Ta alloy, Ni-Ti alloy, zirconium alloy.
Index Terms—Dental implants, biomaterials, iron alloys, Co alloys, Ti alloys.
