Superhydrophilic Dental Implants for Faster Bone Healing
Superhydrophilic Dental Implants for Faster Bone Healing
Internationally Competitive New Generation Dental Implant Surface Treatment Technology
Tags: National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Taiwan, Healthcare & Lifesciences, Science & Exploration
Professor Her-Hsiung Huang’s team at NYCU has developed a new generation of dental implant surface treatment technology using superhydrophilic micron, submicron, and nanoscale titanium surfaces. This technology significantly enhances bone healing speed and promotes osteogenesis by inducing specific protein responses in human mesenchymal stem cells. Applications include dental and orthopedic implants with improved bone-to-implant contact, outperforming international brands. The treatment method is simple, fast, and environmentally friendly. This innovation aligns with the increasing demand for effective implants in an aging society and advances oral aesthetics.
