Functionally graded material (FGM) is a clever way to develop composite materials to increase their durability over time. The primary feature of a FGM is its improved characteristics brought about by a progressive change in composition and microstructure over its dimensions. Numerous domains, including thermal barrier coatings, the power sector, biomechanical, automotive, aerospace, mechanical, civil, nuclear, aeronautic, and naval engineering, have used this methodology. Solid titanium, which is frequently used in conventional dental implants, frequently causes mechanical incompatibility with the surrounding bone because of unequal stiffness, leading to stress shielding and decreased osseointegration. By gradually changing their composition, porosity, or structural characteristics, Functionally Graded Dental Implants (FGDIs) seek to close this gap and maximize their biomechanical and biological performance. This article provides an overview of FGMs, their application in implant dentistry, and their mechanical performance.
