Antimicrobial activity of nanoparticulate metal oxides against peri-implantitis pathogens
-Seminal paper describes the activity of widening spectrum of metal/metal-oxide nano-particles against pathogens associated with peri-implantitis.
-First description of antimicrobial activity of the engineered metal/metal-oxide nanoparticles, against full range oral pathogens.
-Assists development of novel and innovative antimicrobial agents, in the face of antimicrobial resistance. Multi-functional and durable implant coating is of considerable commercial interest.
-Sponsored by TSB/SEEDA Funding on Antimicrobial Nanoparticles £3.2M.
-Led to Dental Research International GlaxoSmithKline funding to develop antimicrobial bio-nanomaterials for dental implant coatings
-Involvement of Johnson Matthey plc to develop special metal nano-particles processing capability for mixed nano particles towards a £1.2billion world wide market.
