Appropriate selection of the implant biomaterial is a key factor for long term success of
implants. The biologic environment does not accept completely any material so to optimize …

The emerging field of nanostructured implants has enormous scope in the areas of medical
science and dental implants. Surface nanofeatures provide significant potential solutions to …

Resin composites are widely used in esthetic restorative dentistry. Since their introduction in
the mid-1960s, these composites made steady gains in popularity. Their increased use is …

Aim: The aim of the present work was to investigate ultrafast laser surface texturing as a
surface treatment of Ti-6Al-4V alloy dental and orthopedic implants to improve osteoblastic …

For this paper, studies of the microstructure as well as the mechanical and biological
properties of bioinert titanium, zirconium, and niobium alloys in their nanostructured (NS) …

A crucial method for adding new functions to current biomaterials for biomedical applications
has been surface functionalization via molecular design. Mussel-inspired polydopamine …

The Co-based alloy ASTM (Co–28.5 wt.-% Cr–6.3 wt.-% Mo) is widely used for medical
implants, eg knee prostheses, and is commonly processed by investment casting. Selective …

Biomaterials used in implants or clinical instrumentation are commonly used for the re-
alignment, replacement, and treatment of deteriorated tissues, broken structures, or other …

In recent years, significant progress has been made toward the development of titanium
foams, or porous titanium scaffolds, for orthopedic and dental applications. This chapter …

Osseointegration or osteointegration refers to a direct bone-to-metal interface without
interposition of non-bone tissue. This concept has been described by Branemark, as …
