Abstract

Surface modification of titanium implants is a hot topic for improving osteointegration and includes physical, chemical, bioactive and anodization methods. Among these methods, anodization methods can form TiO2 nanotube structures with a uniform and stable structure, and TiO2 nanotubes and substrates have high binding strengths and osteogenic properties and represent an excellent method for implant modification. TiO2 nanotube osteogenesis is closely related to its morphology, diameter and physicochemical characteristics. Therefore, the structure of TiO2 nanotubes with optimal osteogenic performance can be prepared by regulating these factors. At present, research on TiO2 nanotubes is mostly focused on composite treatments with TiO2 nanotubes, namely, the combination of other implant modification methods (physical method, chemical method, biological method) and TiO2 nanotubes to form a composite structure to work synergistically to treat osteogenesis. TiO2 nanotube composite treatment is a good prospective application for the further preparation of TiO2 nanotube-modified structures with strong osteogenic properties.
