Titanium implants are known to nucleate spontaneously a calcium phosphate (apatite-like) layer when in contact with biological model fluids. The presence of proteins either in solution or pre-adsorbed on the titanium surface may influence the process of calcium phosphate deposition. The role of fibr

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
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to define the chemical composition of the outermost surface layer and the surface modification of a plasma-coated phospho-silicate glass (identified as BVA) when immersed in potassium phosphate buffer or in phosphate-buffered human albumin solution.

With advances in ceramics technology, calcium changes in cell population. The ALP titer in the culture media phosphate bioceramics have been applied as bone substitutes of the β€-TCP and HA were quite high in the first 3 days, for several decades. The focus of this work is to elucidate then decreased
