One such piece of news was reported today from Health Canal, and tells of UCLA researchers who have discovered that diamonds on a very small scale could potentially be used to promote bone growth and the durability of dental implants.Nanodiamonds, which are created as byproducts of conventional mining and refining operations, are approximately four to five nanometers in diameter and shaped like tiny soccer balls.

At the UCLA School of Dentistry, the UCLA Department of Bioengineering and Northwestern University, alongside collaborators at the NanoCarbon Research Institute in Japan, might have found a way to use them to improve bone growht and combat osteonecrosis, a disease in which bones break down due to reduced blood flow.

"The discovery serves as a foundation for the future of nanotechnology in dentistry, orthopedics and other domains in medicine," says Dr. No-Hee Park, dean of the UCLA School of Dentistry. "Dr. Ho and his team have demonstrated the enormous potential of the nanodiamonds toward improving patient care. He is a pioneer in his field."

Nanodiamond technology may be a ways away, yet, but you can rest assured that as the premier dentist in Van Nuys, at Hamlin Dental Group, we're proud of our reputation for providing our patients with the best dentistry available today.
