Background Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is probably one of the most successful surgical
interventions performed in medicine. Through the revolution of hip arthroplasty by principles …

Titanium implants are widely used in the orthopedic and dentistry fields for many decades,
for joint arthroplasties, spinal and maxillofacial reconstructions, and dental prostheses …

An overview of the formation of calcium phosphate under in vitro environment on the surface
of a range of bioactive materials (eg from silicate, borate, and phosphate glasses, glass …

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 …

Abstract Professor Larry Hench first reported that certain glasses are able to spontaneously
bond to living bone in 1970. This discovery stimulated research into new kinds of bone …

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

Hydroxyapatite coatings were successfully produced on modified titanium substrates via
hydrothermal synthesis in a Ca (EDTA) 2− and (NH 4) 2 HPO 4 solution. The morphology of …

Surface potential is rarely investigated as an independent factor in influencing tissue
regeneration on the metal surface. In this work, the surface potential on the titanium (Ti) …

The present study is an attempt to develop a zinc oxide (ZnO) decorated titania (TiO 2)
nanostructured layer over Ti metal by a simple chemical and thermal treatment method. Ti …

Early vascularization plays an important role in bone healing, especially in interfacial bone
formation. Many modifications have been made to titanium surfaces to promote …
