Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used in biomedical devices and components,
especially as hard tissue replacements as well as in cardiac and cardiovascular …

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 …

To investigate the roles of composition and characteristics of titanium surface oxides in
cellular behaviour of osteoblasts, the surface oxides of titanium were modified in …

Electrophoretic deposition uses hydroxyapatite (HA) powders dispersed in a suitable solvent
at a particular pH. Under these operating conditions these particles acquire positive charge …

Metals and their alloys have been widely used in all aspects of science, engineering and
medicine. Metals in biomedical devices are used due to their inertness and structural …

Titanium biomaterials are widely employed to produce medical components, such as hip
and knee-joint prostheses, bone plates and screws, dental implants, pacemaker cases …

This chapter gives a review of the plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) technique from
scientific, technological and application points of view. The first section of the chapter …

Screw-shaped endosseous implants that have a turned surface of commercially pure
titanium have a disadvantage of requiring a long time for osseointegration while those …

Microarc oxidation (MAO) was used to prepare a TiO2-based coating containing Ca and P
on titanium alloy. An alkali treatment was developed to modify the surface of the MAO …

In the study, characterization of the anodized titanium surface was performed. In addition,
histological evaluation and interfacial strength at the bone–implant interface of the …
