Abstract:
Nanotechnology is one the current fields of interest to adjust the properties of implants. It deals with systems and structures that result in new properties due to their small size (1-100 nm). The main applications in the bio-materials science are controlled cell attachment on different implant surfaces and design of multi-functional drug delivery device. Because the cell attachment depends both on surface chemistry and on the surface nano-scale features, the modification of implants involves usually different surface treatments. The aim of this paper is to review the various aspects of interaction of implants with stem cells, osseo-integration of dental implants and dental implant surface modifications.
