Bioinspired micro/nano fabrication on dental implant-bone interface

▸ We analyzed the natural hierarchical micro/nano structure in rat's alveolar bone. ▸ We developed a novel way to fabricate a biomimetic dental implant-bone interface. ▸ TiO2 nanotubes on pit-like microscale Ti implant's surface showed a superior property. ▸ This bioinspired dental implant's surface can provide a better bioactivity.
