Commercially pure titanium (cp-Ti) and titanium alloys (typically Ti6Al4V) display excellent
corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. Although the chemical composition and …

Bone-anchored titanium implants have revolutionized oral healthcare. Surface properties of
oral titanium implants play decisive roles for molecular interactions, cellular response and …

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

This chapter covers information on the composition, microstructure and physico-chemical
properties of thin oxide films on titanium and titanium alloys. The focus is on thin layers in the …

For centuries, clinicians have been attempting to replace missing teeth with suitable
synthetic materials. Dental implants are fixtures that serve as replacements for the root of the …

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 …

Titanium is a relatively widely and successfully used biomaterial, especially in the dental
and orthopaedic fields. The surface oxide which almost always covers titanium is considered …

In a series of experimental studies, bone formation was analysed around systematically
modified titanium implants. In the present study, machined, electropolished and anodically …

In recent years, implants have gained growing importance in all areas of medicine. Of these,
orthopaedic and dental implants are routinely exposed to high mechanical loads such as …

Electrochemical measurements, x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning tunneling
microscopy have been used to study the effect of hydrogen peroxide on the passivity of …
