Laser surface modification of Ti implants to improve osseointegration

Biomedical Ti–Mo Alloys with Surface Machined and Modified by Laser Beam: Biomechanical, Histological, and Histometric Analysis in Rabbits

“…On the other hand, several authors have demonstrated higher percentage of BIC as well as removal torque values for modified implant surfaces when compared with machined ones 13–15,17,24–28 …”

“…In this regard, sandblasting, plasma spraying, and acid etching have become the three most common approaches used to alter the surface topography and increase the specific surface area of implants. But the main problem of those treatments is the contamination of the surface during the modification procedure 16,17 . On the other hand, Laser beam irradiation is a clean and reproducible process, where the implant surface does not interact with any other materials for its modification during the irradiation.…”

Laser and chemical surface modifications of titanium grade 2 for medical application

“…Previous laser modifications emphasized possibility to forming relatively thick oxides layers which are also beneficial in terms of biostability [35,37,44]. To investigate this issue, the EDS chemical analysis was performed and the results are shown in Fig.…”

Osteogenic potential of laser modified and conditioned titanium zirconium surfaces

“…This is similar to the results of the studies conducted on CpTi using the laser sources. [1718] A limitation of the present study is that the results were based on the laboratory findings and yet to be confirmed with the clinical study.…”
