Deposition of ZnO nanoparticles by magnetron sputtering onto tantalum nanostructures
 
Dental implants are prone to failure as a result of biological complications, such as peri-implantitis disease, which is characterized by the inflammation of the soft and hard tissues adjacent to the implant surface. This disease is caused by the bacterial adhesion and consequent biofilm formation onto the implant surface, which delays the osseointegration of the implant. In this sense, to reduce the appearance of bacterial infections, this work proposes the development of a novel surface, due to the incorporation of antibactericidal zinc oxide nanoparticles on tantalum oxide nanostructured surface
