Evolution of metal implants progressively shifted the focus from adequate mechanical
strength to improved biocompatibility and absence of toxicity and, finally, to fast …

Some special implantable materials are defined as “bioactive” if they can bond to living
bone, forming a tight and chemically-stable interface. This property, which is inherent to …

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 Ti‐9Mn and Ti‐15Mn were prepared using an arc furnace in order to understand
their osteogenic behavior as a biomedical implant. Ti‐9Mn surface showed a significantly …

Previous reports of some studies have described that nitrogen (N)‐doped titanium dioxide
(TiO2) exhibits photocatalytic antibacterial activity under visible light irradiation and that …

A novel ciprofloxacin loaded chitosan nanoparticle-based coating onto titanium substrates
has been developed and characterized to obtain an orthopaedic implant surface able to in …

In this present paper, cobalt oxide (CoO x) is studied as an effective cocatalyst in a
photocatalytic hydrogen production system. CoO x-loaded titanium dioxide/cadmium sulfide …

Controlling adsorption of proteins onto medical devices is a key issue for implant-related
infections. As self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on titanium oxide represent a good model …

Objective The aim of this study was to improve the strength and quality of the titanium–
hydroxyapatite interface in order to prevent long-term failure of the implanted devices …

This paper presents the results of a structured review of the literature concerning in vitro
molecular assessment of osseointegration at the level of cell-surface topography …
