Title
Nano-Engineering Solutions for Dental Implant Applications
Subject
Dental Implant
Description
This Special Issue of Nanomaterials explores the recent advances and trends with respect
to nano-engineered strategies towards dental implant applications. A dental implant
microenvironment is complex, and an implantation surgery results in a local trauma [1].
Further, exacerbated by the ongoing patient conditions (age, osteoporosis, diabetes or
smoking), long-term dental implant success may be compromised due to inappropriate integration
(both soft-tissue and osseo-integration), inflammation and bacterial infection [2,3].
As a result, surface modification of dental implants to fabricate desirable topographical
and chemical features towards enhancing osseo- and soft-tissue integration (STI), has been
well documented [4]. Various physical, chemical and biological modifications have been
investigated across the macro-, micro- and nano-scales to find the most optimum dental
implant surface features [5].
The goal of this Special Issue is to shine light on the recent nano-engineering advances
that revolutionize the dental implant technology, with a focus on the next generation of
implants capable of providing maximum local therapy to drastically reduce implant failures.
This Special Issue will inform the readers of the latest nano-engineering developments in
the domain of dental implants, aiming to bridge the gap between research and clinical
translation, from lab to clinics. This Special Issue contains a blend of eight original research,
communication-style research and review papers from leading scientists across the world
with expertise in nano-engineered dental implant technology.
