Russian researchers have developed dental implants they say will integrate with bone tissue more effectively than existing options on the market. The project was highlighted in the press by News and supported by a consortium of Russian institutions and manufacturers.
The breakthrough comes from a collaboration involving ITMO University, the thread milling center that covers the full production cycle, and the Lenmiriot plant, which is part of the Orthos group of companies. The team also includes specialists from St. Petersburg State Medical University ILP Pavlova and LLC Laser Center, a company focused on laser processing solutions for medical devices.
A key distinction cited by developers is the laser-based surface treatment used for these implants, rather than conventional abrasive methods. This approach is said to preserve surface integrity, reducing the risk of surface deterioration and eliminating the need for toxic chemical finishes. Scientists contend that this laser-treated surface could make these implants more reliable and durable, potentially lowering complication rates for patients. If adopted widely, the technology might help rationalize costs and strengthen domestic capabilities, especially in light of sanctions and logistical challenges that could impact the availability of imports in the dental market.
In related news, previously published reports mentioned Russian researchers working at the Vostok Station in Antarctica. There, scientists identified microscopic particles of extraterrestrial origin, known as micrometeorites, embedded in ancient Antarctic ice, a finding that underscores the breadth of Russia’s scientific activity in extreme environments and its enduring curiosity about natural materials and their properties.
