Next Generation Smart Implant Surfaces: Engineering Multifunctional Antimicrobial, Immunomodulatory and Regenerative Interfaces

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Natural‐inspired nano‐textured implant surfaces can be functionalised to modulate macrophage polarisation and local immune responses. This bioactive control promotes improved tissue integration and healing outcomes. ABSTRACT Dental implants rely on a stable and functional interface between the implant surface, surrounding tissues, and the oral ...

Engineered surface strategies to manage dental implant‐related infections

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract When exposed to the oral environment, dental implants, like natural surfaces, become substrates for microbial adhesion and accumulation, often leading to implant‐related infections—one of the main causes of implant failure. These failures impose significant costs on patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.
