Abstract:

Implant restoration has become one of the main options for patients with tooth loss. The development of 3D printing technology has provided new possibilities for implant design and manufacture, and has gradually become a hot research topic. However, bacterial infection-induced peri-implantitis is still an important cause for implant failure. Improving the antibacterial ability of implants is a powerful way to solve this problem. In this paper, various antibacterial methods used in 3D printing implants are reviewed, including process optimization, material modification, surface treatment and 3D printing coating, and their prospects are analyzed. It is hoped that this review can provide a brief understanding of this field and help future research.

Key words: 3D printing, implant, antibacterial property
