Graphene-Based Coatings for Dental Implant Surface Modification

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Carbon-related Materials in Recognition of Nobel Lectures by Prof. Akira Suzuki in ICCE

Abstract

Among the most promising nanomaterials, an extensive emphasis was drawn onto graphene-based ones for biomedical applicability, being triggered by its exotic properties such as biocompatibility, electric conductivity, and transparency, excellent aqueous processability, amphiphilicity and surface functionalisation degree. The tuneable chemistry and the excellent mechanical, tribological, as well as corrosion properties of graphene-based materials have indicated their potential applications in implant material. Given the growing demand for designing advanced new implant surfaces to control the interactions with the surrounding biological environment in order to improve their biocompatibility and bioactivity and enhance their corrosion resistance, this chapter highlights the approaches for surface modification of dental implants with graphene nanomaterials as surface coatings.
