Titanium and titanium alloys are often used in orthopedic surgery and dentistry because of their especial characteristics such as biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance. However, their bio- inertness is the most serious drawback for biomedical applications. Therefore, a bioactive coating like hydroxyapatite (HA) is coated on their surface. In this regard, in the prese...

objective(s):anodized treated titanium surfaces, have been proposed as potential surfaces with better cell attachment capacities. we have investigated the adhesion and proliferation properties of h9c2 cardiac myoblasts on anodized treated titanium surface.  materials and methods: surface topography and anodized tubules were examined by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (sem). control...

in this research, tribological behavior of ti-ni-p intermetallic coatings on titanium substrates have been investigated under dry reciprocating conditions. hardness profile testing results exhibit that high surface hardness has been attained and static indentation result shows that the intermetallic coating has better adhesion strength than the conventional ceramic coatings. in this respect, th...

Titanium and its alloys present high interests for technological applications due to their high corrosion resistance, mechanical properties and biocompatibility. In combination with these remarkable characteristics, some Ti applications require specific surface properties that can be imparted with suitable surface functionalizations of the TiO(2) oxide layer. The present work aims to study the ...

BACKGROUND The independent role of the surface chemistry of titanium in determining its biological properties is yet to be determined. Although titanium implants are often in contact with muscle tissue, the interaction of muscle cells with titanium is largely unknown. This study tested the hypotheses that the surface chemistry of clinically established microroughened titanium surfaces could be ...

We describe direct effects of strontium ranelate on the interaction of osteoblastic cells with different titanium substrates. Our goal was to better understand the potential of this drug for improving the efficacy of bone implants. Treatment was done with 0.12 and 0.5 mM Sr(2+) of strontium ranelate in cell culture. We analyzed cell response to the drug on titanium substrates with surface topog...

The present study aimed to document Candida albicans biofilm development on titanium and its modulation by a peroxidase-precoated material which can generate antimicrobials, such as hypoiodite or hypothiocyanite, from hydrogen peroxide, iodide, or thiocyanate. For this purpose, titanium (powder or foil) was suspended in Sabouraud liquid medium inoculated with C. albicans ATCC10231. After contin...
