Summary in 1 minute
Researchers at the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine (Boston, USA) are developing dental implants capable of transmitting pressure sensations during chewing — a capacity absent in conventional implants.
The approach aims to create a biological interface that interacts with surrounding nerve tissues, allowing patients to perceive sensations similar to those of a natural tooth.
The research is still at an experimental stage but could represent an important advance in implantology — toward implants that restore not only function and aesthetics but also sensory feedback.
