Nanoscale implant anchorage aided by cement line deposition into titanium dioxide nanotubes

The success of titanium dental implants relies on osseointegration, the load-bearing connection between bone tissue and the device that, in contact osteogenesis, comprises the deposition of bony cement line matrix onto the implant surface. Titanium dioxide nanotubes (NTs) are considered a promising surface for improved osseointegration, yet the mechanisms of cement line integration with such features remains elusive. Herein, we illustrate …
