      <abstract>
        <p>Recent advancements in dental implantology have significantly transformed the field, accommodating both clinicians__ampersandsign#39; aesthetic demands and rising patient expectations. Various implant designs now exist, differing in shape, surface, and size, requiring clinicians to meticulously evaluate each option based on biomechanical principles tailored to individual patient anatomy. Biomechanics, which examines mechanical principles in relation to biological issues, is essential for the success of dental implants. It involves the transfer of loads from the implant to surrounding bone tissues, requiring a deep understanding of how these forces impact the bone-implant interface. Differences in the biomechanical behaviour between natural teeth and implants underscore the need for specialized approaches to implant placement and design to manage stress distribution effectively and prevent overload. Innovations in implant surface treatments and loading protocols further contribute to enhancing implant integration and longevity. This detailed study, based on a thorough review of literature and clinical data, discusses the biomechanical interactions and their impact on the optimal functionality and longevity of implants.&#13;
