✦ Synopsis

Moreover, the anodized nanotubular array on titanium surface can be used as reservoirs for drug (anti-inflammatory, and improving bone-growth) with prolonged drug release ability. Also, there is possibility to further enhance bioactivity of titanium implant with nanotubular surface by hydroxyapatite deposition into the titania nanotubes which further enhance bone ingrowth. The application of nanotubular structures of oxide layers can be optimized taking into consideration some important parameters as osseointegration rate and interface strength determined by nanotube mean size and length. The load transfer and stress distribution under applied loading is examined with the Finite Element Method (FEM) taking into account different geometries of nanotube arrays.
