Nanotechnology Used in Dental Implants
5 June 2007Nanotechnology is being used in dental implants as a way to reduce the healing time and improve osseointegration. This is the technical term that describes how well a living bone bonds with an artificial plant, such as those used in dentistry. Currently Nanotechnology-based dental implants are in use by a number of dental implant manufacturers, but only a few of them were recognized by dentists as being Nanotechnology enhanced implants.
As stated, the dental implants that use Nanotechnology are clearly superior in reducing the time frame for osseointegration to occur. The only problem with the implants however is that they are currently too expensive for mass adoption. Therefore dentists who use them may, at the present, be passing on the added expense to the patients.
These and other results have been published in the US Markets for Dental Implants 2007 report. It includes coverage of several major manufacturers that produce these kinds of implants as well dental implant survey results.
