Abstract |
Coatings for endosseous titanium implants have been considered significant tools used in restorative dentistry. However, complications involve the lack of osseointegration (poor biomechanical interlocking between the bone/implant interface), biocompatibility, and the occurrence of bacterial infection. The objective of the project is to create an alternative (textured) bone interlocking scaffold using additive methods to increase the effectiveness of these properties for long term clinical success. |
