This study investigated the effects of anodization-cyclic precalcification-heat (APH) treatment on the bonding ability of Ca-P coating to the parent metal and osseointegration of Ti-6Al-7Nb implants. Eighteen Ti-6Al-7Nb discs, 9 untreated and 9 APH-treated, were cultured with osteoblast cells in vitro, and the cellular differentiation ability was assayed at 1, 2, and 3 weeks. For in vivo testing, 28 Ti-6Al-7Nb implants (14 implants of each group) were inserted to rat tibias, and after each 4 and 6 weeks of implantation, bone bonding, and osseointegration were evaluated through removal torque and histological analysis. Osteoblast-culturing showed twice as much of the alkaline phosphatase activity on the treated surface at 3 weeks than on the untreated surface (p < 0.05). The treated implants exhibited higher removal torque values than the untreated ones (15.5 vs. 1.8 Ncm at 4 weeks and 19.7 vs. 2.6 Ncm at 6 weeks, p < 0.05). Moreover, the excellent bonding quality of coats was confirmed by the existence of cohesive fractures on the surface of removed APH implants (field emission scanning electron microscopy and histological observation). Within the limits of this study, it can be concluded that the APH treatment significantly enhanced osseointegration of the Ti-6Al-7Nb implant, with the stable bonding between the coating and the implant surface.

The colonization of microbes and the resulting formation of biofilms on dental implants are significant contributors to peri-implantitis and the failure of these implants. The aim of the research was to analyze the impact of density and depth of laser texturing of the Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy surface on the colonization of selected microorganisms and biofilm formation. Standard strains of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and yeasts from the American Type Culture Collection-ATCC-were used to demonstrate the ability to form single-species biofilms in vitro.

Titanium-based metals are used most often in biomedical implant studies because they have good qualities like being biocompatible, not being poisonous, Osseo-integration, high specific properties, wear resistance, etc. The main goal of this work is to improve the wear resistance of Ti-6Al-7Nb biomedical metal by using a mix of Taguchi, ANOVA, and Grey Relational Analysis. The effect of changeable control process factors like applied load, spinning speed, and time on wear reaction measures like wear rate (WR), coefficient of friction (COF), and frictional force.

Introduction: One of the main causes of treatment failure in bacterial prosthetic joint infections (PJI) is biofilm formation. The topography of the biofilm may be associated with susceptibility to antimicrobial treatment. The aims of this study were to assess differences in topography of biofilms on different implant materials and the correlation thereof with susceptibility to antimicrobial treatment.

Introduction: While 3D printing of bone models for preoperative planning or customized surgical templating has been successfully implemented, the use of patient-specific additively manufactured (AM) implants is a newer application not yet well established. To fully evaluate the advantages and shortcomings of such implants, their follow-up results need to be evaluated.
Area Covered: This systematic review provides a survey of the reported follow-ups on AM implants used for oncologic reconstruction, total hip arthroplasty both primary and revision, acetabular fracture, and sacrum defects.
