Dental implants restore missing teeth but face high infection rates. This research investigates zirconia crown design, bacterial leakage, and material strength. Using microscopy and mechanical testing, it identifies a three-step sealing method for implant screw access holes, reducing infection risk and improving long-term implant success and patient confidence.

This research transforms natural silk fibers into biodegradable “silk paper” membranes that support bone regeneration for dental implants. Unlike titanium meshes, silk papers dissolve in the body, eliminating the need for a second surgery. They support human cell growth, reduce costs, and promise safer, more accessible dental and medical treatments.
