چکیده

The ongoing difficulties in reaching ideal osseointegration have sparked a great deal of interest in the development of novel materials for dental and medical implants. Implant failure is often caused by inadequate bone-to-implant contact, requiring invasive and expensive subsequent surgical operations that place a heavy financial and psychological strain on patients. By applying a unique nanocomposite material made of nanohydroxyapatite (HA) and polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) to traditional titanium (Ti) dental implants, this study suggests a creative way to overcome these drawbacks. Strong mechanical qualities, a Young’s elastic modulus that nearly resembles that of human cortical bone, and outstanding biocompatibility are just a few of the appealing qualities that PEKK, a high-performance biopolymer, offers. A bioactive ceramic that resembles real bone in structure, nanohydroxyapatite is well known for its capacity to form bone bonds and its practical use as a bone substitute. These compounds work in concert to create a nanocomposite coating that improves the mechanical and physical characteristics of titanium implants while also encouraging better biological integration. Through a battery of exacting tests, such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle (wettability), and surface roughness analysis, the study seeks to methodically define these coated implants.The successful outcome of this research holds substantial promise for significantly improving implant success rates, thereby reducing patient morbidity and alleviating the associated healthcare economic burden.Strong mechanical qualities, a Young's elastic modulus that nearly resembles that of human cortical bone, and outstanding biocompatibility are just a few of the appealing qualities that PEKK, a high-performance biopolymer, offers.
