Abstract
Surface modification of titanium implant is processed by microarc oxidation and hydrothermal treatment. A porous surface with a biologically active boneβlike apatite layer was formed. The apatite layer consists of very fine crystals and high crystallinity and is integrated with the titanium alloy substrate with a graded structure without a distinct interface. Such a bioactive layer is expected not only to enhance the bony ingrowth into the porous structure, but also to improve the interlocking between implant and bone. Β© 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
