There is a major breakthrough in the realms of dentistry! A team of researchers from KU Leuven university, Belgium have developed a dental implant that can gradually release drugs from a built-in reservoir. It helps in preventing and fighting infections.
Traditional Dental Implants
There are many micro-organisms in our mouth including fungal and bacterial pathogens. In conventional dental implants, these pathogens form a biofilm which is resistant to drugs such as antibiotics. As a result, these traditional implants are quite prone to infections that are difficult to treat.
