However, long-term success of Ti-6Al-4V implants and the completeness of their osteointegration still need to be addressed . Since the biofunctionality of the implant is strongly affected by its surface characteristics, to promote osteointegration, considerable efforts have focused on modifying the surface of the implants. Alternatively, surface modification using plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) has been developed in order to incorporate new biofunctional groups onto titanium alloys surface . The present study aims at investigating the impact of carbonoxygen (Car-Oxy) dual plasma surface treatment on bioactivity of Ti-6Al-4V alloy surfaces. |
