“…With regard to bone engineering, metal-based solid materials have been used mostly to meet the mechanical requirements of the tissue. Titanium is a biocompatible and chemically stable metal that has long been used as an orthopedic and dental implant material and, more recently, as a scaffold for bone regeneration and engineering [ 27 , 28 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 74 , 75 , 76 , 77 , 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 ]. Titanium is innately osteoconductive, but accelerated osseointegration (bone-implant integration) and ensuring osseointegration under unfavorable local and systemic conditions remain challenging.…”
