Resumen:

In this chapter, a general overview of current dental implants is presented, identifying weak points where improvements can be made. Particular importance is given to the surface properties of materials susceptible to modifications for improving the biological response for the specific application. Then, the concepts and techniques relevant for the evaluation of the physico-chemical properties and the protein adsorption, biocompatibility, bioactivity and biofilm formation are described. The chapter describes a particular method to modify the chemical and physical properties of materials, known as magnetron sputtering. Finally, an example using Nb2O5 coatings is presented, where also corrosion resistance and adhesion results are included. © 2013 Woodhead Publishing Limited All rights reserved.
