Nano-Technology – The Next big Thing in Dental Implants

Researchers are beginning to investigate the possibility of using Nano-biomaterials as possible compounds to coat dental implants. These materials may speed up osseointegration of these implants into the bone structure leaving them as tough as the natural teeth we are born with. The major problem associated with dental implants is that they take quite sometime for them to be absorbed into the bony sub-structure of the jaw which is needed for stability of the implant itself. Nano-Biomaterials being natural may prove to be better than current sandblasted or plasma etched implants with regards to the healing time associated with them.

Previously used only on the top layer of dental implants, ceramic materials are now fast becoming the material of choice for dental implants due to their ability to be easily osseointegrated into the jaw bone. Osseointegration is the process of bone integration wherein the bone tissue grows right onto the medium (previously only titanium) or material from which the implant is made of. Ceramics have the ability to mimic the structure of bone thus allowing growth faster and better than metal implants. Titanium is still the material of choice for it has been used for many years, but ceramics are slowly making their way into mainstream use as they become tougher and better than their counterparts.
Tailor made for each patient using proprietary technology, they are tougher and lighter without the nasty ability of cold weather to have an effect on the feel of your implants. Ask your orthodontists for the option and you may just be a candidate for the latest dental implant technologies around.
