• Rough surfaces versus smooth surfaces
• Micro and nanostructure control of cell attachment and spreading
• Osseointegration and bone ingrowth
• Tooth versus implant: implants and tissue reaction
• Force shielding
• Keratinised mucosa
• Abutment: selection, shape, surface, decontamination, handling
• Gingival recession
