Surface Modification of Titanium and Its Alloy by Anodic Oxidation for Dental Implant

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Implant Surfaces and their Biological and Clinical Impact

Abstract

Anodic oxidation has been successfully used as a surface modification for orthopedic and dental implants in the past few decades. This chapter will overview the anodic oxidation of titanium and will discuss about processing parameters, microstructure, and composition. Finally, it will clarify the biological responses and the mechanism of enhanced osteoblast functions on the anodized titanium which is pertinent to dental implants.
