Blood Coagulation on Titanium Surface with Different TiO2 Crystal Structures

摘要

When an implant is placed into the human body, blood will be the first component to interact with implant surface. The immediate blood coagulation process will be activated, which may help the following wound healing and tissue cell growth. Currently, titanium (Ti) is widely used as dental implant because of the good biocompatibility of T1O_2 film on Ti surface. However, limited information concerning the influence of TiO_2 crystal structure on blood coagulation is available in the literature. Therefore, this study was to investigate the blood coagulation on Ti surface with different TiO_2 crystal structures.
