including biocompatibility of the bulk material, macroscopic and microscopic features of the implant surface,_x000D_
the status of the implant bed (host bone quality and quantity) and the surgical technique per se. In the case of_x000D_
dental implants, the biological interactions take largely place at the interface between the bone tissue and the_x000D_
