During the last decade, there has been a major increase in the interest of nanostructured materials in advanced technologies for biomedical and dental clinical applications. Nanostructured materials are associated with a variety of applications within the dental and biomedical field, for example nanoparticles in drug delivery systems and nanostructured scaffolds in tissue engineering. More importantly, nanotechnology has also been linked with the modification of surface properties of synthetic implants in an attempt to improve their bioactivity, reliability and protection from the release of harmful or unnecessary metal ions. This is achieved through the use of nanocoatings and nanocomposite coatings. These new-generation coatings based on inorganic materials and biological materials such as proteins and peptides are currently investigated and applied. This chapter aims to give an overview of the recent advances in nanocoatings and their composites being investigated or used in dentistry.
在过去十年中，纳米结构材料在生物医学和牙科临床应用的先进技术领域的关注度大幅提高。纳米结构材料在牙科和生物医学领域有多种应用，例如药物递送系统中的纳米颗粒和组织工程中的纳米结构支架。更重要的是，纳米技术还与合成植入物表面特性的改性相关联，旨在提高其生物活性、可靠性以及防止有害或不必要的金属离子释放。这是通过使用纳米涂层和纳米复合涂层来实现的。目前正在研究和应用基于无机材料以及蛋白质和肽等生物材料的新一代涂层。本章旨在概述正在牙科领域进行研究或应用的纳米涂层及其复合材料的最新进展。
