Hip implants with a delta ceramic or oxidized zirconium head and highly crosslinked polyethylene liner or cup had the lowest ...

Developed by scientists at Sweden's Chalmers University of Technology, the minuscule objects could be easily applied to the surface of implants, and have already been lab-tested on glass surfaces.

The regenerative (bone grafting) approach for the treatment of peri-implantitis is another effective method. Finally, implant surface engineering can address high antibacterial efficacy and ...
