Bio-tribocorrosion of titanium: influence of biofilms and surface topography. Relevance for a better dental implant performance

摘要

It was recognized that surface topography can significantly influence microbial colonization and biofilm formation on Ti dental implants. It was also verified that biofilms can significantly affect the biotribocorrosion behavior of cp-Ti dental implants: diminishing its corrosion resistance, but at the same time acting as lubricants and reducing the release of wear debris.
