BookDOI
Titanium in Medicine : material science, surface science, engineering, biological responses and medical applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide state-of-the-art scientific and technical information in a clear format and consistent structure making it suitable for formal course work or self-instruction.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative study of protein adsorption on titanium oxide surfaces using in situ ellipsometry, optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy, and quartz crystal microbalance/dissipation

TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption kinetics of three model proteins (human serum albumin, fibrinogen and hemoglobin) were measured and compared using three different experimental techniques: optical waveguide lightmode spectroscopy (OWLS), ellipsometry (ELM) and quartz crystal microbalance (QCM-D).
Journal ArticleDOI
Physico-chemical considerations of titanium as a biomaterial.
TL;DR: Titanium has low ion-formation tendency and low reactivity with macromolecules, accompanied by low toxicity in aqueous environments, and does not facilitate reactive oxygen radical generation during inflammatory conditions as observed in in-vitro experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Foreign Body Reaction to Biomaterials: On Mechanisms for Buildup and Breakdown of Osseointegration.
TL;DR: Dentistry is still to embrace the concept of the biomaterials' healing- and immune-modulating effect when in contact with body tissues, and it seems recommendable to react as rapidly as possible when facing peri-implant bone loss, trying to reestablish a foreign body equilibrium if with some bone resorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
Titanium-hydrogen peroxide interaction: model studies of the influence of the inflammatory response on titanium implants.
TL;DR: A new model for the titanium-tissue interface is proposed where the oxidized titanium surface is covered with a hydrated TiOOH matrix after the inflammatory reaction, suggested to possess good ion exchange properties and extracellular components may interact with the Ti(IV)-H2O2 compound before matrix formation.
