Notes:
Nanostructured titanium (nTi) with essential enhanced strength and fatigue characteristics is anadvanced material for dental implant applications. Nano Ti is commercially pure titanium, that wasnanostructured by a special technique of severe plastic deformation. It is bio inert, does not containeven potentially toxic or allergenetic additives and has significantly higher specific strengthproperties than any other titanium applied in dental implants. Cylindrical threaded screw implantsNanoimplant® sized 2.4 mm in diameter and 12 mm in length were made from nTi. It is the firstapplication of nTi dental implant in the world reported. Recently more than 250 successful clinicalapplications dealing with surgery on the front teeth were carried out. No complications werenoticed during the early postoperative period and early loading. Laboratory cytocompatibility testsundertaken so far on mice fibroblast cells have indicated that nanocrystalline Ti surface has asignificantly better property for cell colonisation and healing of tissue consequently
