Opis

Implantology is a field focusing on materials with enhanced biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and functionalities. Recent advancements include titanium-zirconia alloy, PEEK, and tantalum. Zirconia's osseointegration potential has been enhanced through fabrication techniques and surface modifications. Nanotechnology has also contributed to implant biomaterial innovation, promoting faster healing and reducing bacterial adhesion. While these breakthroughs hold immense promise, continued research, rigorous testing, and interdisciplinary collaboration are essential to fully realize their potential and ensure safe, effective, and long-lasting implant solutions for patients around the world.
