“…They come up with a decision that the low elastic modulus associated with the new modified alloy allows it to be practiced in dental and orthopedic implants. Fowler et al 62 added sterile Cu in the alloy of Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr and studied the concentration of Cu on the hardness of the mentioned alloy. They concluded that the hardness of said Ti-alloy is proportional to the percentage of Cu addition.…”

Titanium and its alloys are belonging to the class of biomedical materials and have amazing characteristic features, including high corrosion protection, incredible wear resistance, superb hardness, and extraordinary bio-degradability and activity. Due to these remarkable qualities, titanium materials are considerably treated in medical applications like bone implantation, surgical devices and prosthesis, dental implants, and fracture bone fixation by screws, plates, nails and abutments. However, there is a property of titanium alloys that it holds layers of oxygen over the surface, but the atmospheric reactions/changes at extremely high temperature alter the morphology of the films, resulting in the loss of biological performance. In order to cover up this barrier, surface treatments are performed through different mechanical, chemical, and physical means. The treatments over the surface enhance the micro-features, improve the biocompatibility, and extend the life of coatings on titanium substrate. These modifications allow the various titanium alloys to be principally used in medical and dental applications. Considering the significance and applications of these alloys, this article is mainly conducted to scrutinize the various aspects, that is, biomedical applications and surface modification techniques, of titanium-based materials.

“…Lee et al claimed that the Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr (TNTZ) system showed promising properties for biocompatibility and strength comparable to those of Ti-6Al-4V. The alloys in the range of 3-10 wt% Cu all had Ti 2 Cu, which may cause the potential antibacterial ability of the material (Fowler et al, 2019a). Shi et al developed a new titanium alloy, Ti-13Nb-13Zr-5Cu (TNZ-5Cu), with a low elastic modulus and good antibacterial properties.…”

The use of titanium dental implants to replace missing teeth represents an important field of daily dental practice worldwide, which is highly reliable for long-term survival and success rates. However, titanium dental implants still have intrinsic problems that cannot meet the clinical requirements. Improving the performance of implants is an increasingly important area of dental research to reduce infection rates. Improved properties can be achieved by two main methods: 1) the overall change in the materials by changing the elemental composition and 2) surface modifications. This review provides an overview of various titanium-based alloys that have been employed to achieve a higher survival rate of implantation by adding elements or modifying the surface, with a special focus on their antibacterial applications. Recent developments in titanium-based alloys containing various antibacterial agents have been described in detail, including Cu-bearing, Ag-bearing, and Zr-bearing Ti alloys. Moreover, the applications of bioactive coatings and 3D printing materials with antibacterial properties are reviewed. This review aims to highlight the antibacterial challenges associated with titanium-based alloys to promote the further development and clinical application of antibacterial alloys.

“…The article shows combination of different processing routes (hot-rolling, annealing and solution treatment) for design of alloys of different mechanical properties (hardness and Young's modulus). Fowler et al [4] modified Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr alloy by addition of antibacterial Cu. As the effect of microstructural changes, the few % of Cu addition results in significant increase of alloys hardness.…”

In the last half century, great attention has been paid to materials that can be used in the human body to prepare parts that replace failed bone structures. Of all materials, Ti-based materials are the most desirable, because they provide an optimum combination of mechanical, chemical and biological properties. The successful application of Ti biomaterials has been confirmed mainly in dentistry, orthopedics and traumatology. The Ti biomaterials provide high strength and a relatively low Young’s modulus. Titanium biocompatibility is practically the highest of all metallic biomaterials, however new solutions are being sought to continuous improve their biocompatibility and osseointegration. Thus, the chemical modification of Ti results in the formation of new alloys or composites, which provide new perspectives for Ti biomaterials applications. Great attention has also been paid to the formation of nanostructures in Ti-based biomaterials, which has leads to extremely good mechanical properties and very good biocompatibility. Additionally, the surface treatment applied to Ti-based biomaterials provides faster osseointegration and improve in many cases mechanical properties. The special issue “Ti-Based Biomaterials: Synthesis, Properties and Applications” has been proposed as a means to present recent developments in the field. The articles included in the special issue cover broad aspects of Ti-based biomaterials formation with respect to design theirs structure, mechanical and biological properties, as highlighted in this editorial.
