Modifying the titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) surface plays a key role in improving biological
responses. The present work aimed to determine the response of human alveolar bone cells …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) and titanium-doped DLC coatings were prepared by hybrid
PECVD/direct current magnetron sputtering (DCMS). In this study, we show that the …

The physical and chemical characteristics of diamond‐like carbon (DLC) films make them
suitable for implantable medical and odontological interests. Despite their good interactions …

Silver ions (Ag+) have strong bactericidal effects and Ag-coated medical devices proved
their effectiveness in reducing infections in revision total joint arthroplasty. We quantitatively …

The implant-bone interface is the scene of competition between microorganisms and distinct
types of tissue cells. In the past, various strategies have been followed to support bony …

It is well known that titanium alloys have mechanical strengths comparable to steels, as well
as high corrosion resistance. Also, they have the advantage of promoting osseointegration …

Recently, the development of coatings to protect biomedical alloys from oxidation,
passivation and to reduce the ability for a bacterial biofilm to form after implantation has …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating is a convenient means of modifying material surfaces
that are sensitive to wear, such as titanium and silica substrates. This work aims to evaluate …

By coating surfaces with nano-crystalline diamond (NCD) particles, hydrophilicity can be
altered via sidechain modifications without affecting surface texture. The present study …

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) layers are known for their high corrosion and wear resistance,
low friction, and high biocompatibility. However, it is often necessary to dope DLC layers …
