gentamicin as antibacterial agents Page 1 J. Serb. Chem. Soc. 84 (11) 1287–1304 (2019) UDC …

Titanium (Ti) is the widely used implant material in clinic, however, failures still frequently
occur due to its bioinertness and poor antibacterial property. To improve the biological and …

Nano hydroxyapatite doped with zinc (0.2 wt%), silver (0.25 wt%) and gold (0.025
wt%),(HAP), has been obtained by an innovative wet chemical approach, coupled with a …

This study develops, for the first time, composite coatings based on silver and zinc doped
hydroxyapatite in chitosan matrix (AgZnHApCs). The AgZnHApCs composite coatings were …

The electrophoretic deposition process (EPD) was utilized to produce bioactive
hydroxyapatite/chitosan (HAP/CS) and hydroxyapatite/chitosan/gentamicin (HAP/CS/Gent) …

The implant-related infection as a consequence of bacterial adherence and biofilm formation
remains one of the main causes of implant failure. Grace to recent advances in materials …

Frequently metal implants undergo detachment from the host tissue due to inadequate
biocompatibility and poor osteointegration. In view of this, bioactive porous apatite …

Infection in primary total joint prostheses is attracting considerable attention. In this study,
silver (Ag) was incorporated into hydroxyapatite (HA) using a hydrothermal method in order …
