With an ageing population, war, and sports related injuries there is an ever-expanding
requirement for hard tissue replacement such as bone. Engineered artificial scaffold …

Evidence that nanoscale surface properties stimulate and guide various molecular and
biological processes at the implant/tissue interface is fostering a new trend in designing …

Titanium is considered to be a metal material with the best biological safety. Studies have
proved that the titanium implanted in the bone continuously releases titanium particles (Ti …

Metallic biomaterials like stainless steel, Co-based alloy, Ti and its alloys are widely used as
artificial hip joints, bone plates and dental implants due to their excellent mechanical …

The aim of the present study is to prepare the bovine hydroxyapatite-diopside (bHA-Di)
nanocomposite coating using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique and then …

UV irradiation leads to a “spontaneous” wettability increase of the Ti6Al4V surface while
preserving bulk properties of the alloy that are crucial for its performance as an orthopedic …

The biocompatibility of calcium ion (Ca)-incorporated Ti6Al4V alloy implants, produced by
hydrothermal treatment using a Ca-containing solution, was investigated. The surface …

When irradiated under near‐ultraviolet (UV) light, TiO2 exhibits strong bactericidal activity.
The TiO2 photocatalyst would be effective on orthodontic appliances after its antibacterial …

Osteosarcoma-derived cells have been routinely used for studying osteoblastic functions,
but it remains unclear to what extent they mimic the behavior of primary osteoblasts in the …

The objective of this work was to evaluate the relative role of the calcium phosphate surface
chemistry and surface topography on human osteoblast behavior. Highly dense phosphate …
