graphene, although its primary focus is on graphene applications. In 2014, Graphenano introduced Graphenstone, which is a graphene-based paint that is extremely durable and may also help preserve structures from environmental harm. In 2015 end, the firm began construction of a production facility for graphene polymer batteries. Additionally, Graphenano is working on graphene composites, graphene sensors, and graphene photovoltaic systems.
Jesús Martínez, General Manager of Graphenano Dental, spoke about the benefits of graphene material. He said, “Unlike zirconia, for example, which is still widely used, our graphene nano-reinforced biopolymer G-CAM disc has excellent blending properties”. He continued saying, “The appearance is extremely natural and resolves all the mechanical, physico-chemical and biological failures of the rest of the materials currently used in the industry”.
Martínez detailed the advantages of graphene material over the traditional zirconia. He added, “Our material also benefits patients, of course, as it is really light and a lot softer than zirconia. A zirconia prosthesis that weighs 70 g may only weigh as little as 12 g when manufactured using the resin and graphene combination. With G-CAM, patients feel no difference to their natural teeth”.
G-CAM carries the CE certification, and Graphenano Dental has mostly served the European market to date; however, it is gradually expanding now. Its next goal is to enter the South and North American markets. The G-CAM disc has been filed to the US Food and Drug Administration for approval and will be accessible nationwide in the near future.
