SYMPOSIUM

1G: Biomaterials & Surfaces: From Pioneering Medical Implants to Advanced Therapies

DATE: Wednesday, March 25
TIME: 1:30 – 3:30 PM
LOCATION: Hyatt Regency, Atlanta | GH East AB

This symposium is dedicated to the innovative surface treatments of biostructured biomaterials, emphasizing their crucial role in medical technologies. Our goal is to create a dynamic forum for discussing cutting-edge research in surface treatments that enhance the efficacy of medical implants and advanced therapies.

Topics will explore pioneering techniques in hydroxyapatite and calcium phosphate coatings, as well as advanced surface texturing methods designed to improve osseointegration and biocompatiblity. We will discuss biologically modified surfaces that generate specific functionalities to stimulate or repress biological processes, adapting to the needs of various medical applications.

The forum will delve into the unique properties of biomaterials at the nanoscale, highlighting the potential for precise control over surface and structural characteristics at the submicron level. Key discussions will center on designing materials that mimic the extracellular matrix and developing surfaces with controlled activity capable of smart signaling when in contact with cells and biological fluids.

Attendees will gain insights into the latest medical implant surface treatment technologies and future advancements, including hydroxyapatite coatings and specialized abrasive techniques. Case studies will be presented for both dental and orthopedic implant applications, showcasing the impact of these innovative treatments on clinical outcomes.

The session will be moderated by Craig Rosenblum, who will present his talk, “Optimizing Osteointegration: The Role of Calcium Phosphate Dual-Blasting in Implant Surface Texturing” at 1:30 PM.
