What Role Does Nanotechnology Play in Osseointegration?
Nanotechnology plays a pivotal role in improving osseointegration by optimizing the surface properties of implant materials. By manipulating materials at a nanometer scale, scientists can create surfaces that mimic the natural structure of bone, enhancing the biological response. For instance, nanostructured surfaces improve the initial adhesion of bone-forming cells, which is crucial for the long-term success of an implant.
