A surface of TiO2 nanotubes could reduce the failure rate for dental implants, both by encouraging bone growth around the implant and by serving as a drug-delivery system for antimicrobial and ...

Researchers at Michigan Technological University (MTU) are using nanotechnology to improve the form and function of dental implants. Tolou Shokuhfar, PhD, an assistant professor of mechanical ...

Also, titanium dioxide nanotubes produce better bone-implant contact as well as collagen type I expression (essential for bone and connective tissue health). These results have been found both in ...
