Objectives of the Project

Design of Dental Implant using Ti-HA composites

To design appropriate CAD based model for tooth replacement and to evaluate the design parameters using Fininte elemental analysis to match patient specificity

To fabrication the implant using 3D printing technology and to assess the cytocombatibility properties in vitro.

To perform in vivo trials in rabbit animal model

Hydroxyapatite-based Dual Ceramic coating on Dental Implant System

To improve the efficacy of PECVD coating on dental implants

To ensure good adhesivity between the coating and the implant surface as well as to promote the stability of the coating in physiological environment.

To determine the bioactivity and resorption of the coating in vitro and also to test the bacteriostatic properties and the resistance against biofilm/plaque formation

To perform pre-clinical study to test the efficacy of the coating by animal implantation in dogs.
