Biodegradable alloys and especially magnesium-based alloys are considered by many
researchers as materials to be used in medicine due to their biocompatibility and excellent …

Bioactive glasses (BGs) are known for their selective ability to (i) form a mechanically strong
interfacial bond with hard (bone) or soft tissues (gingivae or cartilages)(ie, silica-, silica …

Osseointegration plays the most important role in the success of an implant. One of the
applications of hydroxyapatite (HAp) is as a coating for metallic implants due to its bioactive …

In recent years, biodegradable materials have included magnesium alloys with
homogenous disintegration and a controllable degradation rate. Utilized in medical …

The aim of the present paper was to evaluate the effect of hydroxyapatite coatings on the two
types of Mg–Zn–Ag alloys as a possible solution to control magnesium alloy degradation …

Magnesium (Mg) alloys are adequate materials for orthopedic and maxilo-facial implants
due to their biocompatibility, good mechanical properties closely related to the hard tissues …

Background Biofilm formation on medical device surfaces is a persistent problem that
shelters bacteria and encourages infections and implant rejection. One promising approach …

Trauma orthopaedic surgery was the first domain to use degradable metallic implants made
of magnesium alloys since the early 20th century. Unfortunately, the major limitation that …

The aim of this research was to obtain hydroxyapatite (HAp)-based coatings doped with
different concentrations of Mg on a Ti nanostructured surface through electrochemical …

The application of bioresorbable magnesium-based alloys in medical implants has been
limited by their rapid dissolution rate. In order to enhance their suitability for medical use, this …
