## Abstract Amelogenin proteins, the principal components of the developing dental enamel extracellular matrix, have been postulated to facilitate the elongated and oriented growth of the carbonated apatite crystals during enamel formation. We previously reported that amelogenin caused modulation o

β¦ Synopsis
In order to improve the bioactivity of titanium, an original surface treatment was attempted with the use of a casting technique was attempted. Pure titanium was cast into a special graphite mold in which the cavity wall was coated with hydroxyapatite (HA) powder. According to analyses of X-ray diffraction and EDX, the existence of HA and CaO and uptake of Ca and P on the surface of the titanium castings were identified. By immersing the specimen in Hank's solution, the concentrations of Ca and P on the surface increased with immersion time, and the formation of a thin layer with characteristics of spherical HA precipitates was observed after 1 week. The concentrations of Ca and P elements and the Ca/P ratio on the HA layer increased with immersion time. The formation of the HA layer on the titanium cast by this treatment was significantly accelerated compared with pure titanium. The present surface treatment of Ti is expected to improve early bone fixation of Ti implants.

A two-step chemical treatment has been developed in our group to prepare commercially pure titanium (cpTi) surfaces that will allow calcium phosphate (Ca-P) precipitation during immersion in a supersaturated calcification solution (SCS) with ion concentrations of [Ca2+] = 3.10 mM and [HPO4(2-)] = 1.
The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate surfaceinduced mineralization (SIM) as a potential technique to apply ceramic coatings to metal orthopaedic implants. Cylindrical titanium porous-coated implants were either coated by SIM or plasma-spray (PLS) techniques with calcium phosphate, or left
