... silicon onto the surface of titanium implants, and this porous surface not only improved the wear and corrosion resistance of titanium but also had good biological activity. Thus, the use of Si–TiO₂ on titanium implants warrants further research for potential clinical applications. Owing...

...) made of polyether ether ketone with an IPS or a conventional BPSS was subsequently implanted. The IPS using the DIAM system (Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) was composed of an ‘H’-shaped silicone core with a polyester cover and was instrumented between the spinous process of L4 and L5 where...

... and polished titanium surfaces, although this effect was significantly reduced with saliva coating, indicating a strong 'masking' effect of saliva on nanotopography-mediated bacterial adhesion. The results demonstrate that nanopatterning may be used to control bacterial attachment to titanium implant surfaces...
