Los biomateriales como el titanio (Ti) c.p desempeñan un papel clave en el éxito actual de los procedimientos de implantes. En general, los implantes de Ti son biocompatibles y permiten el crecimiento óseo de manera ordenada, pero, en los cinco años posteriores a la implantación, 5-10% fracasan a raíz de una osteointegración deficiente. En este...

Ti implants are highly biocompatible and allow orderly bone growth but, unfortunately, in the first five years after implantation, 5–10% of them fail due to poor osseointegration and to the presence of bacterial infections in prosthesis. Silver nanoparticles have been described to damage bacterial cell via prolonged release of Ag+ ions as a...

Ti prosthesis have shown better biological compatibility, mechanical performance, and resistance to corrosion in cases of bone replacements. Nevertheless, fully dense Ti in connection with bone-host tissues show stress-shielding phenomenon that, together with the development of frequent undesirable microbial infections, may lead to implant...
