"The research develops new hybrid biomimetic materials that work as mechanically stimulating “scaffolds” to promote early regeneration in implanted bone healing phases. A modified commercial odontostomatological implant has been biomechanically investigated by Finite Element Analysis. A biomimetic nanostructured osteoconductive material has been used to replace part of the implant screw. Combined material characterization (mechanical and aqueous media sorption behaviour) and computer-aided simulations have been carried out. Such biomimetic multidisciplinary approach allowed us to explore many novel ideas in modelling, design and use of new nanostructured biomaterials and devices with enhanced functionality and improved interaction with Osteoblast cells."
