1. In t roduct ion Electrolytic coloring, electrodeposition coating and several other surface finishing techniques for anodized aluminum have been performed by applying secondary and sometimes tertiary electrolysis to anodized aluminum. Upon applying secondary electrolysis to anodized aluminum, thc understanding of (1) the pore filling theory, (2) flaw theory and (3) current recovery phenomena ...

This study was aimed at studying the effect of contact with titanium alloy plates of different surface textures on the proliferative capability of mouse osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells. First, the proliferation characteristics of MC3T3-E1 cells were investigated. MC3T3-E1 cells showed a high capacity for proliferation and survived for a long period even under nutritionally starved conditions. Durin...

PURPOSE The aim of present study was to identify characteristic and response of mouse bone marrow (BM) derived low-adherent bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) obtained by quantification of extracellular matrix (ECM). MATERIALS AND METHODS Non-adherent cells acquired by ECM coated dishes were termed low-adherent BMMSCs and these cells were analyzed by in vitro and in vivo methods, inc...

Advanced surface modifications and materials were tested on the same implant geometry. Six types of dental implants were tested for osseointegration after 2, 4 and 8 weeks in a sheep pelvis model. Four titanium implant types were treated with newly developed surface modifications, of which two were chemically and two were pharmacologically modified. One implant was made of zirconia. A sandblast...

Titanium alloys are used in different industries such as biomedical, aerospace, aeronautic, chemical, and naval. Those have high requirements with few damage tolerances. The aim of this work was to study the corrosion behavior titanium anodizing non-anodizing alkaline (KOH NaOH) solutions, exposed 3.5%wt. NaCl 3.5% wt. H 2 SO 4 solutions at room temperature using cyclic potentiodynamic polariza...

Titanium implants have a thin oxide surface layer. The properties of this oxide layer may explain the good biocompatibility of titanium implants. Anodic oxidation results in a thickening of the oxide film, with possible improved biocompatability of anodized implants. The aim of the present study was twofold: (1) firstly, to characterize the growth behaviour of galvanostatically prepared anodic ...
