Long-lasting renewable antibacterial porous polymeric coatings enable titanium biomaterials to prevent and treat peri-implant infection
Descripción general
Resumen del artículo
Researchers developed a porous N-halamine polymer coating for titanium dental implants that prevents bacterial growth and biofilm formation. The coating's antibacterial properties can be renewed through simple irrigation, potentially offering a long-term solution for peri-implant infections, including peri-implantitis.
