The implant of biomaterial is a key factor for the long-term success of implants. The biological environment does not accept completely any material so to optimize biological performance; implants should be selected to reduce the negative biologic response while maintaining adequate function Synthetic materials for surgical implant devices have evolved from the early metallic systems to a variety of material combinations and composites. This article is an effort to review various biomaterials of implants that were used in the past and as well as the latest material used now. Further improvements in existing systems require a continuation of the multidisciplinary approach to the laboratory, experimental animal, and human clinical research.
