Silicon Nitride Coatings for Improved Implant Function (LifeLongJoints)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2018,

Articulating joint replacements represent a medical market exceeding €14 billion p.a. that is expected to rise as demographics reflect an ageing population.

Sensing peri-implant disease (STEP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

Peri-implant disease is a true threat in today’s advancement of implant reliability and performance. The diagnostic approach followed in this grant is for early recognition of peri-implant diseases. Our System is sensing Matrix metalloproteinase 8 (MMP-8) regulation indicative for connective tissue degradation as present at the borderline of gingivitis/mucositis and periodontitis/peri-implantitis. ...
