Drug Dispensing Teeth implants
Researchers in the Netherlands have developed a drug dispensing tooth implant that has its own microprocessor and power source to provide steady streams of medication for sedentary patients who cannot take medicines on their own. The technology is highly reliant on microelectronics that contains sensors, a drug dispensing valve, the drug reservior, and the microprocessor which calculates the times and dosage of the required medication. The said implant is ideal for seniors of people who are in acoma that must get their medicine at precise intervals to allow it to maximize the healing effects of the drug.
