What Challenges Exist in Utilizing Nanotechnology for Osseointegration?
Despite the promising advancements, challenges remain in utilizing nanotechnology for osseointegration. One significant challenge is ensuring the long-term stability of the nanostructured surfaces. Over time, these surfaces can degrade or lose their nanostructured characteristics, potentially compromising osseointegration. Additionally, the complexity of manufacturing and the high costs associated with nanotechnology-enhanced implants can be a barrier to widespread adoption. Another concern is the potential for unforeseen biological reactions to nanomaterials over extended periods.
