 abstract={The development and characterization of nanochitosan-YSZ (Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia) duplex coatings on 316L stainless steel using a dual method for dental applications are the focus of this study. Dental implants have long been integral to restoring oral health, but the high cost of noble material-based implants limits their accessibility to many individuals. As a solution, this research explores the use of innovative materials and techniques to create cost-effective yet biocompatible dental implants. The study involves a dual coating method that combines electrophoretic deposition and dip coating to create a robust and adherent duplex coating. Nanochitosan, a biopolymer, and YSZ, known for its excellent cell adhesion properties, form the basis of the coating material. The characterization of the duplex coatings includes various analytical techniques to assess their physical and chemical properties. This research aims to enhance the long-term stability and functionality of dental implants, making them more affordable and accessible to a wider range of patients, thereby contributing to improved dental health and quality of life.},
