Key challenges in the field of implantology are stress shielding, low fatigue strength, poor bone bonding and formation of biofilim on implants. This laboratory has all the basic equipments needed for the development of materials with tailored mechanical properties. Materials with grain size ranging from micron and to nano are being investigated to have optimum modulus closer to bone and high fatigue and mechanical strength. Two high temperature furnaces with controlled environment is available to facilitate this work. In addition, novel coatings to improve the osseointegration and prevent bacterial formation are developed using simple cost-effective techniques such as Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and micro arc oxidation (MAO). In addition, this laboratory also involves activities related to replacement and reconstruction of diseased or damaged parts of the musculo-skeletal/dental systems by near net shape manufacturing of implants using different material and biological characterizations. Further, this lab focuses on development of new generation of ceramic, ceramic- polymeric/metallic composites for different biomedical applications. A substantial portion of this lab is involved in colloidal process of ceramics, bio-ceramics, protein coagulation casting, sol-gel and implant designing (dental and maxillofacial prosthesis) for bio-medical applications.
