Research Abstract

This study, based on surface treatment and analysis technology acquired from the applicant, used alkalyphosphonic acids and biomineralization peptide onto titanium substrates and then established a method of reforming the surface of titanium implant bone adhesion. These immobilization techniques can be expected to improve significantly the ability of the titanium implant bone regeneration and tissue adhesive.
