Interface and Infection Safety

  • Autonomous sensor-actuator systems
    In project B01, we modulate implant surfaces using sensor/actuator systems to ensure early control of implant-associated infections and prevent implant failure.
  • Pathomechanisms of peri-implant infections
    In project B02, we are investigating the development of implant-associated infections, explore early detection methods that are based on signal patterns in order to initiate targeted therapy and ensure rapid healing.
  • Optical sensors for responsive implants
    In project B03, we analyze early detection methods for pathogenic bacterial biofilms using optical fibers in order to significantly improve therapy.
  • Active stimulus-responsive implants
    In project B04, we employ microtechnology in dental implants by designing a micropump to help combat peri-implantitis and investigate the challenges this poses for implant design?
  • Autonomous sequential release systems
    In project B05, we are exploring how an implant can successfully fight an implant-associated infection by means of autonomous drug release.
  • Localisation and localised therapy of inflammations and infections on surfaces of established implants
    How can we specifically deliver antimicrobial agents to the infection site by harnessing the patient's own cells as intelligent, endogenous transport vehicles? This is the question we explore in B06.
  • Simulation of biofilm growth and drug-induced biofilm control
    In project B07, we are investigating how numerical simulations can assist in combating implant-associated infections and provide valuable insights for testing antimicrobial agents.
  • Implant coatings for intentional implant removal
    In project B08, we explore novel implant coatings for gentle removal of firmly healed implants.
