Signaling pathways of dental implants' osseointegration: a narrative review on two of the most relevant; NF-κB and Wnt pathways.

Introduction: Cell signaling pathways are the biological reactions that control cell functions and fate. They also directly affect the body reactions to implanted biomaterials. It is well-known that dental implants success depends on a successful integration with the alveolar bone: "osseointegration" which events comprise early and later responses to the implanted biomaterials.
