Graphene for Dental Implant Applications

J. Y. Lim

Published 2017 in Unknown venue

ABSTRACT

Graphene is composed of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged as a hexagonal honeycomb lattice, exhibiting unique material characteristics such as mechanical, optical, thermal, electronic, and magnetic. Recently, biomedical researches have begun to exploit these unique properties of graphene and its derivative materials, opening a totally new research avenues in biomaterials, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine [1,2]. In this perspective article, we will highlight recent studies that explore graphene-based materials for applications in dental implants and suggest perspective on potential future directions.
