Metallic biomaterials are used in medical devices in humans more than any other family of
materials. The corrosion resistance of an implant material affects its functionality and …

The propose of this review was to summarize the advances in multi-scale surface
technology of titanium implants to accelerate the osseointegration process. The several multi …

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 …

In biomaterials science, it is nowadays well accepted that improving the biointegration of
dental and orthopedic implants with surrounding tissues is a major goal. However, implant …

The osseointegration rate of titanium dental implants is related to their composition and
surface roughness. Rough-surfaced implants favor both bone anchoring and biomechanical …

At present, strong requirements in orthopaedics are still to be met, both in bone and joint
substitution and in the repair and regeneration of bone defects. In this framework …

An appropriate cellular response to implanted surfaces is essential for tissue regeneration
and integration. It is well described that implanted materials are immediately coated with …

Fatigue resistance and biocompatibility are key parameters for the successful implantation of
hard-tissue prostheses, which nowadays are more and more frequently manufactured by …

With an ageing population, war, and sports related injuries there is an ever-expanding
requirement for hard tissue replacement such as bone. Engineered artificial scaffold …

The urge to replace missing teeth dates back to the origin of medicine. Along history, organic
materials, metals, alloys, polymers, glasses, and carbon were used to substitute teeth, but …
