Abstract:In this study a modified Kokubo's treatment (MKT) was used to bioactivate titanium implants. Titanium surfaces were alumina-blasted and etched in HCl/H 2 SO 4 solution followed by treatment in autoclave at 120˚C for 1, 3, 5 hour periods with chemical solutions containing 1, 2 and 3 M of NaOH. The materials were characterized by surface angle measurements, roughness, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and in vivo tests. Statistical analysis by polynomia… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
