The effect of ultraviolet photofunctionalization on titanium implant surface and its related clinical performance

Commercial titanium implants are highly reactive, and it eventually degrades with time due to accumulation of surface hydrocarbons from surrounding environment, which ultimately decreases the cellular attachment and bone formation on implant surface. The surface hydrocarbons can be reduced throug...
