“…Until now, dentists still face the dilemma of undesirable biocompatibility and commit to designing a clinical-friendly implant surface and exploring effective methods to blend bioactive factors in dental implants. In recent years, the osteoimmunomodulation has been viewed as an available strategy in the implant modification instead of enhancing osteogenesis directly (Gao et al, 2020;Zhao et al, 2021;Zhu et al, 2021), and we propose that in future study, researchers can further explore the synergistic effect of osteogenesis, angiogenesis, immune response, and even neurogenesis to accelerate the osseointegration and promote the stability of dental implants. Besides FBR, peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis caused by bacteria invasion also draw clinicians' attention for their potential impacts on stable osseointegration, while recent studies questioned if the cause-effect relationship really existed between plaque accumulation and the occurrence of peri-implant inflammation and between peri-implant inflammation and marginal bone loss (Albrektsson et al, 2019;Coli and Jemt, 2021).…”
