A goal of current implantology research is to design devices that induce controlled, guided,
and rapid healing. In addition to acceleration of normal wound healing phenomena …

The present review surveys studies on physical‐chemical properties and biological
response of living tissues to NiTi (Nitinol) carried out recently, aiming at an understanding of …

The article focuses on the biomaterials and biomechanics behind oral and maxillofacial
implants. It states that the US Food and Drug Administration has a listing of over 50 …

The surface of implantable biomaterials is in direct contact with the host tissue and plays a
critical role in determining biocompatibility. In order to improve the integration of implants, it …

Long-term clinical success of endosseous dental implants is critically related to a wide bone-
to-implant direct contact. This condition is called osseointegration and is achieved ensuring …

The bone formation around titanium implants with varied surface properties is investigated.
Machined and electropolished samples with and without thick, anodically formed surface …

The hypothesis that calcium ions adsorb to TiO 2 and further to macromolecules with high
affinity for Ca 2+ was tested. The reaction of human serum proteins with TiO 2 was examined …

When a biological system encounters an implant, reactions are induced at the implant-tissue
interface. This article deals with various surface properties that are expected to influence …

Material specificity in implant‐tissue interactions derives primarily from the surface
properties (chemical composition, microstructure, etc.) of the implant. This article addresses …

Glow discharge plasma treatment is a frequently used method for cleaning, preparation, and
modification of biomaterial and implant surfaces. The merits of such treatments are …
