Micro-nano porous structured tantalum-coated dental implants promote osteogenic activity in vitro and enhance osseointegration in vivo.

Due to its excellent biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, tantalum demonstrates versatility as an implant material. However, limited studies investigated the role of tantalum coated titanium-based dental implants. This study aimed to investigate the potential application of micro-nano porous structured tantalum coating on the surface of titanium dental implant.
