Abstract:Titanium and its alloys are widely used in biomedical applications because of their excellent properties such as high corrosion resistance, biocompatibility and mechanical properties. One of the applications is in dental implants and usually presents failures due to infectious processes caused by the formation of a biofilm layer on the implant surface. The biofilm structure makes it difficult to treat these infections, leading to the development of new surface modification techniques, in order to prevent the a… Show more
