Nanotechnology plays a crucial role in enhancing the properties of dental implants in multiple ways:
1. Surface Modification: By engineering the surface at the nanoscale, implants achieve better osseointegration, which is the process where bone cells attach more effectively to the implant. 2. Antibacterial Properties: Nanoscale coatings can be designed to have antibacterial properties, reducing the risk of infections. 3. Drug Delivery: Nanoparticles can be embedded within the implant to release drugs in a controlled manner, aiding in healing and reducing inflammation.
