Evolution of metal implants progressively shifted the focus from adequate mechanical
strength to improved biocompatibility and absence of toxicity and, finally, to fast …

Titanium and its alloys have emerged as excellent candidates for use as orthopedic
biomaterials. Nevertheless, there are often complications arising after implantation of …

Titanium and alloys thereof are widely utilized for biomedical applications in the fields of
orthopedics and dentistry. The corrosion resistance and perceived biocompatibility of such …

Bacterial contamination is a critical problem in different fields (ranging from everyday life to
space missions, and from medicine to biosensing). Specifically, in the case of medical …

Titanium and its alloys have already been widely used as implant materials due to their
outstanding mechanical characteristics and biocompatibility. Notwithstanding this …

The development of Ti alloys to manufacture dental implants has emerged in recent years
due to the increased failure of commercially pure titanium (cpTi) implants. Thus, this study …

Bone infection is a devastating disease characterized by recurrence, drug-resistance, and
high morbidity, that has prompted clinicians and scientists to develop novel approaches to …

It is well known that composition, electric charge, wettability and roughness of implant
surfaces have great influence on their interaction with the biological fluids and tissues, but …

Nanostructured surfaces are called “promising” to control bacterial adhesion and biofilm
formation. Initial adhesion is followed by emergence of surface-programmed bacterial …

A significant challenge in orthopedics is the design of biomaterial devices that are able to
perform biological functions by substituting or repairing various tissues and controlling bone …
