Nanostructured titanium dioxide for use in bone implants: a short review
Abstract Titanium dioxide (TiO2) based nanostructured materials have shown great potential for use in implants thanks to their excellent physicochemical properties, such as high specific surface area, ability to elicit positive cell response, and stability in body fluids. However, there are few studies in the literature that focus on the use of nanostructured TiO2 to support cell growth and bone regeneration. The purpose of this survey is to review the state of the art of TiO2 for use in bone implants, as well as provide insight into its characteristics and synthesis methods. Studies of the biological properties of nanostructured TiO2 are described, establishing its potential for the biomedical field.
