Titanium Ions Release from an Innovative Titanium-Magnesium Composite: an in Vitro Study

Abstract

In conclusion, Ti-Mg produced by P/M as a material with better corrosion properties when compared to CP Ti is suggested.

Biodegradability and Cytocompatibility of 3D-Printed Mg-Ti Interpenetrating Phase Composites

“…Ti and its alloys represent a feasible choice among materials for metallic orthopedic implants because of their satisfactory biocompatibility, high corrosion resistance, and excellent mechanical properties ( Geetha et al, 2009 ; He et al, 2015 ; Zhu et al, 2016 ). Despite the mentioned advantages, their further clinical application remains a challenge due to some major drawbacks such as the stress shielding effect and being biologically inert ( Stanec et al, 2016 ; Bobbert et al, 2017 ). Various methods of fabricating less stiff modulus orthopedic implants have been reported ( Ouyang et al, 2019 ; Esen et al, 2020 ; Liang et al, 2021 ; Xu et al, 2021 ), and the control of porosity is considered a promising method ( Meenashisundaram et al, 2020 ; Zhang et al, 2020 ; Zhang et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Three-dimensional printing takes full advantage of the possibilities to realize the addition of functional elements in Ti alloys and the processing of implants with porous structures ( Attarilar et al, 2020b ; Fan et al, 2021 ). The type of repeating unit cell and its dimensions can be chosen to adjust the mechanical properties of the porous biomaterials to achieve an excellent match for the mechanical properties of bone ( Eltorai, Nguyen and Daniels 2015 ; Stanec et al, 2016 ).…”
