Since various interactions among cells, surrounding tissues and implanted biomaterials
always occur at their interfaces, the surface properties of potential implants appear to be of …

Use of titanium as biomaterial is possible because of its very favorable biocompatibility with
living tissue. Titanium implants having calcium phosphate coatings on their surface show …

Magnesium and its alloys are potential biodegradable implant materials due to their
attractive biological property. But their poor corrosion resistance may result in the sudden …

Recent developments in biomineralization have already demonstrated that nanosized
particles play an important role in the formation of hard tissues of animals. Namely, the basic …

A The present overview describes various production techniques for biocompatible calcium
orthophosphate (abbreviated as CaPO4) deposits (coatings, films and layers) on the …

To fix the bone in orthopedics, it is almost always necessary to use implants. Metals provide
the needed physical and mechanical properties for load-bearing applications. Although …

In this study, plasma electrolyte oxidation (PEO) method was employed to modify the surface
of Ti–6Al–4V. Effects of different concentrations of ZrO 2 nanoparticles (0, 1, 3 and 5 g/l) into …

Implant-related infections are a major concern in total joint prostheses, occurring up to 3% in
operations. In this work, 5% Zn2+ was added in HA to offset bacterial activity and 5% Sr2+ …

Electrophoretic deposition uses hydroxyapatite (HA) powders dispersed in a suitable solvent
at a particular pH. Under these operating conditions these particles acquire positive charge …

Surface modification is an important and predominant technique for obtaining biofunction in
metals for biomedical use including dentistry. One surface modification technique is a …
