Abstract
Titanium and its alloys are biocompatible and considered in the manufacturing of dental and orthopedic implants. Techniques for chemical and topographic modifications of the surfaces have been imployeed to improve the biofuncionility of metallic materials. Since bioadhesion is influenced by the hydrophilicity of a material, the surface topography may inhibit the bacterial cell adhesion, d…
