| Summary: | With the advancement of metallurgy and biomaterials science, implants have emerged as a viable alternative to traditional dental restoration methods. Currently, titanium-zirconium (TiZr) alloys have become superior biomaterials for narrow-diameter dental implants. Compared with commercial pure titanium they exhibit higher mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. This article reviews the latest progress in TiZr implant technology, focusing on three key areas: (1) Manufacturing technology: Traditional thermo-mechanical processing, powder metallurgy, and additive manufacturing; (2) Elemental doping: The influence of elements such as niobium, molybdenum, and copper on TiZr alloys; (3) Surface modification: Physical methods, chemical treatments, and drug-releasing surface designs. This review emphasizes the potential of TiZr-based alloys in dental implants and outlines future research directions. TiZr alloys hold significant promise for advancing dental implants and broader biomedical applications. |
