Title: Driving the future - The rise of UV for Tackling the complications of early loading

Failure of Osseointegration is by far the biggest fear for an Implantologist giving us sleepless nights and breathless moments of anxiety. Management of complications is of utmost importance in coming years due to increasing Cases of peri implantitis.

Similar to how technology has been instrumental in making our lives simpler, this fine piece of technology - UV Radiation has made our Implant practices simpler and more predictable too.

UV-mediated photofunctionalization has been known to negate the biological aging of titanium, enhancing its hydrophilicity, increasing osseointegration and achieving almost 99% BIC,as against an acceptable 60% BIC for non-activated commercially available Implant surfaces.

In this presentation we aim to understand how UV mediated Photofunctionalization is the FUTURE of Implantology and how it can be effectively used to manage the complications of Early Loading!
