Research impacts
The trans-mucosal nature of dental implants presents a unique challenge from a biomaterial perspective, requiring rapid establishment and maintenance of osseointegration in the alveolar bone of varying quantity and quality and the formation of resilient, soft tissue integration. Key challenges in achieving long-term dental implant success include sub-optimal osseointegration, soft-tissue integration, immunomodulation and onset of bacterial infection.
Dental implant surfaces have been enhanced via mechanical, chemical, and biological modifications to manage the complex therapeutic requirements of the dental microenvironment. Among these, nanotubes (NTs) or nanopores (NPs) engineered on implant surfaces (Ti, Zr, NiTi, Ti64 alloys, dental/orthopaedic/craniofacial implants) using electrochemical anodisation present considerable therapeutic potential due to several favourable properties, including enhanced integration, tailorable drug loading/release and mechano-transduction.
Dr. Gulati’s research group GATORs (Group for Anodized Therapies for Osseointegration, Regeneration and Stimulation) focus on the developments and challenges associated with nano-engineered implants, focusing on generating tailorable devices that can address the unique challenges related to biomedical implants.
