This study investigated the corrosion resistance and biocompatibility of magnesium coated with strontium-doped calcium phosphate (Sr-CaP) for dental and orthopedic applications. Sr-CaP was coated on biodegradable magnesium using a chemical dipping method. Magnesium coated with Sr-CaP exhibited better corrosion resistance than pure magnesium. Sr-CaP-coated magnesium showed excellent cell proliferation and differentiation. Additionally, new bone formation was confirmed in vivo. Therefore, Sr-CaP-coated magnesium with reduced degradation and improved biocompatibility can be used for orthopedic and dental implant applications.
