Abstract: The literature review on the different surface treatments of titanium and zirconia dental implants revealed a variety of techniques that aim to improve osseointegration and promote initial stability superior to untreated implants. The data found highlights that in both titanium and zirconia implants, the surfaces can be modified to improve biological performance, accelerating the initial healing process. Although there is variability in the types of treatment, with some being common for both titanium and zirconia implants, the changes have proven to be effective, allowing loading in shorter times. However, regarding zirconia implants, although studies are promising, more long-term research is needed. To date, there is not enough data to clearly and safely indicate the use of these implants, except in cases of proven allergenicity to titanium. Therefore, although surface treatments offer promising opportunities to improve osseointegration and the success of dental implants, it is essential to continue investigating and evaluating these techniques, especially in the context of zirconia implants. Long-term longitudinal studies are needed to further validate the efficacy and safety of these treatments, thus ensuring better clinical outcomes for patients.
