International research project “NanoSurf: Nanostructural surface development for dental implant manufacturing” (Horizon 2020)

Coordinator: Latvijas Universitate (Latvia)

Period of realization: 2018-2021

Official website: http://nanosurf.eu/

Additional information: https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/777926 

General overview

The project NanoSurf is targeted to strengthen international and intersectoral collaboration in dental implant research, sharing new ideas and knowledge transfer from research to market and vice versa. We will investigate nanostructured metal oxide coatings, 3D scaffolds, obtained by electrospinning deposition of organic nanofibers and laser patterning of the implant surface using biotechnology, cell engineering and nanotechnology. Interdisciplinary project research and innovation goals are targeted to develop a new class of dental implants with advanced mechanical properties and improved surfaces, treated with nanotechnological methods which will demonstrate high biocompatibility, antibacterial properties and integration with a patient’s bone. The developed devices will simplify dental surgery and avoid bacterial inflammatory complications after implant surgery. This can provide better dental services and improve the health of the EU society.
