Project description:
The NanoSurf project aims to strengthen international and cross-sector collaboration in dental implant research, sharing new ideas and transferring knowledge from research to market and vice versa. We will examine nanostructured metal
oxide coatings, 3D scaffolds obtained by electrospinning, deposition of organic nanofibres and laser patterning of the implant surface using biotechnology, cell engineering and nanotechnology. The interdisciplinary project research
and innovation goals are aimed at developing a new class of dental implants with advanced mechanical properties and improved surfaces treated by nanotechnological methods that exhibit high biocompatibility, antibacterial properties
and integration into the patient’s bone. The developed surfaces will simplify dental surgery and prevent microbial inflammatory complications following implant surgery… This could ensure better dental services and improve the health
of the EU population. The project partners will provide research and training activities in the areas of: fabrication and characterisation of zirconium-titanium (ZrTi) alloy-based dental implants; deposition of metal oxides, biopolymers
and organic/inorganic nano-laminates, laser patterning, electrospinning, cell engineering, modelling analysis and research and management training. Findings will be shared with early-stage researchers to enhance their personal skills,
performance and expertise through the publication of scientific articles and presentation of research results at scientific conferences, which will further boost the development of EU human resources for research and innovation.
Dissemination of the project findings will contribute to the development of the EU’s research capacity in the field of bio- and nanotechnologies and applied sciences.
