AI Article Synopsis
- Various techniques and materials have been explored to enhance the effectiveness of prostheses, including chemical treatments and different coatings.
- Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) shows promise for creating bioactive glass coatings on metal alloys used for implants.
- The study specifically tested the biocompatibility of PLD coatings on titanium, using rabbit implantation to identify the most effective bioactive composition.
Article Abstract
During the past years, different techniques, like chemical treatment, plasma spraying, sputtering, enamelling or sol-gel; and materials, like metals, hydroxylapatite, calcium phosphates, among others, have been applied in different combinations to improve the performance of prostheses. Among the techniques, Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) is very promising to produce coatings of bioactive glass on any metal alloy used as implant. In this work the biocompatibility of PLD coatings deposited on titanium substrates was examined by implantation in vivo. Different coating compositions were checked to find the most bioactive that was then applied on titanium and implanted into paravertebral muscle of rabbit.
