A review on nanocomposite coatings in dentistry
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Nanocomposite coatings have garnered significant attention for their potential applications in various fields, including dentistry. These coatings consist of a base matrix, typically a polymer, ceramic, or metal, embedded with nanoparticles that confer enhanced properties do not present in the bulk material. By incorporating nanoparticles into a suitable matrix, these coatings exhibit superior properties including bioactivity, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, antibacterial activity, and drug release capabilities. This review specifically covers the application of nanocomposites as (1) bioactive/osteoconductive coatings, (2) antibacterial/antimicrobial nanocomposite coatings, (3) tribological/corrosion protection nanocomposite coatings, and (4) drug delivery nanocomposite coatings.
