Evaluation of surface modification techniques on the ability of apatite formation and corrosion behavior in synthetic body fluid: An in vitro study

The aim of the paper was to evaluate the influence of different morphologies obtained by mechanical (metallographically prepared – M group and airborne-particle abrasion – S group) and chemical (anodic oxidation – A group) surface modification techniques applied on pure titanium (cp-Ti, grade 2) in terms of biomineralization ability through in vitro bioactivity assays and corrosion behavior. The study has highlighted that M and A group presented...
