Nanotechnology and dental implants
At the Taiwan Medical University, a conference is being held whose main theme is nanotechnology and it’s relation to dental implants. The famous American dentist Dr. Alan Meltzer will hold the speach in front of over 200 dentists from Taiwan.
„Patients often require short time treatment, but that is sometimes not possible. By using nanotechnology dental implants, we are able to minimize the time needed for the complete procedure.“ says Dr. Meltzer.
Studies have shown that many children aged under 12 have at least one tooth missing. That can cause many problems, such as developing dental diseases and even digestive problems.
The time needed for performing a dental implant procedure varies upon the success of osseointegration (integration of the implant with the bone). Nanotechnology speeds up the process by 150%, decreasing the length of the procedure to 1 to 3 months.
