Until the discovery of the bone-bonding activity of Bioglass by Hench et al. in the early
1970s, it had not been demonstrated that a synthetic material could bond to living bone …

Osseointegration is a major factor influencing the success of dental implantation. To achieve
rapid and strong, durable osseointegration, biomaterial researchers have investigated …

Selective laser melting (SLM) is a useful technique for preparing three-dimensional porous
bodies with complicated internal structures directly from titanium (Ti) powders without any …

Titanium and its alloys represent the gold standard for orthopaedic and dental prosthetic
devices, because of their good mechanical properties and biocompatibility. Recent research …

A highly bioactive bone-bonding Ti metal was obtained when Ti metal was simply heat-
treated after a common acid treatment. This bone-bonding property was ascribed to the …

Ceramic materials are widely used for biomedical applications because of their remarkable
biological and mechanical properties. Composites made of alumina and zirconia are …

An ideal intraosseous transcutaneous implant should form a tight seal with soft tissue,
besides a requirement of osseointegration at the bone-fixed position. Si substituted …

Nanometer-scale roughness was generated on the surface of titanium (Ti) metal by NaOH
treatment and remained after subsequent acid treatment with HCl, HNO 3 or H 2 SO 4 …

Sodium titanate formed on Ti metal by NaOH and heat treatments induces apatite formation
on its surface in a body environment and bonds to living bone. These treatments have been …

In the current study, we have examined the possibility to improve the biocompatibility of the
(TiZrNbTaHf) C through replacement of either Ti or Ta by Si. The coatings were deposited on …
