Osteogenic and long-term antibacterial properties of Sr/Ag-containing TiO microporous coating and .

Bacterial infection and poor osseointegration are two critical issues that need to be solved for long-term use of titanium implants. As such, Sr/Ag-containing TiO microporous coatings were prepared on a Ti alloy surface in the current study a single-step microarc oxidation technique. The coatings showed both good cytocompatibility and biosafety .

The effect of strontium content on physicochemical and osteogenic property of Sr/Ag-containing TiO microporous coatings.

Strontium (Sr) is the most common element introduced into TiO coatings to strengthen the osteogenic property of titanium implants. However, the optimal Sr content and its effect on osteogenic and physicochemical properties of the coatings need to be clarified. In the current study, TiO microporous coatings with different contents of Sr (9.
