NANO-MATERIALS IN DENTAL IMPLANTS-UNDERSTANDING COMPOSITION AND BIOFILM DYNAMICS

Abstract

The study showcases findings from an investigation into the chemical composition and morphology of nanocomposite materials employed in the production of dental implants. By utilizing clinical strains of microorganisms isolated from patients with implant infections (including Bacteroides fragilis, Porphyromonas melaninogenica, Actinomyces spp., and Staphylococcus aureus), the authors of the paper analyze the results of the dynamics of biofilm formation on the composite's surface. To minimize complications following surgical procedures in dentistry, the recommendations on the most advantageous research algorithm for composite materials are provided. The implications of these findings extend to the broader field of biomaterials, emphasizing the significance of a meticulous examination of the chemical and morphological attributes for enhancing the long-term success and safety of dental implants. This comprehensive approach addresses immediate concerns related to biofilm formation and provides a foundation for developing more resilient and biocompatible materials in dental prosthetics.
