| Abstract Scope |
The failure of orthopedic implants due to prosthesis-associated infections and aseptic loosening emphasizes the pressing need to enhance their antibacterial capacity and osseointegration. The biomedical field has extensively studied zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs). ZnO-NP-coated implants have drawn a lot of interest for their increased osseointegration due to their low toxicity, biocompatibility, high selectivity, good biological functions, and antibacterial and osteogenic properties. The use of ZnO NPs in covering implants for better osseointegration has undergone significant advances, which were examined in this review. According to studies, ZnO-NPs coating on metal surfaces enhanced osteogenesis and soft tissue integration, which improved implant fixation. Additionally, osteoconductive nanoparticles create a chemical interaction with bone in order to achieve a strong biological attachment for implants. Implants with ZnO NPs applied to their surfaces have a lower risk of infection, which unquestionably leads to better clinical results. |
