Abstract
Electrolytic deposition of magnesium-substituted hydroxyapatite (Mg-HAp) coatings on titanium was investigated and Mg-HAp crystals with up to 2Â wt.% Mg2+ were deposited in electrolytes with various Mg2+ concentration. The incorporation of Mg substantially changed the morphology of the HAp crystals and decreased the crystal size and crystallinity of the HAp. The similarity with natural dentin and bone in composition and the increased specific surface of the Mg-HAp coatings on the Ti substrates were believed to benefit the bioactivity and the drug-carrying properties of the coatings.
