Some dental implants are coated with hydroxyapatite (HA), which preferentially binds to bone. Several matrix proteins have an arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD) sequence where cells attach via an integrin receptor. We hypothesized that coating an HA surface with an RGD-containing peptide might enh

## Abstract This study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of postβhydrothermal treatment on the biological responses of the plasmaβsprayed hydroxyapatite (HA)βcoated Tiβ6Alβ4V implant system both __in vitro__ and __in vivo__. After hydrothermal treatment, the HA coating (HAC) shows the high mech
## Abstract Despite the emerging use of diamondβlike carbon (DLC) as a coating for medical devices, few studies have examined the resistance of DLC coatings onto medical polymers to both microbial adherence and encrustation. In this study, amorphous DLC of a range of refractive indexes (1.7β1.9) an
## Abstract Hydroxyapatite coatings have been deposited on titanium cp by plasma spray, solβgel, and sputtering techniques for dental implant applications. The latter two techniques are of current interest, as they allow coatings of micrometer dimensions to be deposited. Coating morphology, composi
