Surface treatments on titanium implants via nanostructured ceria for antibacterial and anti-inflammatory capabilities

Peri-implantitis is the most common risk factor for dental implant failure. Nanostructured ceria (nano-CeO2) has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial functions, and different shapes of ceria enclosed by specific crystal planes could be an effective approach to enhance intrinsic catalysis. In the present study, the authors developed a novel implant surface-modification strategy by coating different shapes of nano-CeO2 onto titanium (Ti) surfaces...
