Abstract

Nowadays, the use of implanted devices is a well-acknowledged practice in the field of orthopaedic and dental surgery. Scientific research and clinical experience suggest that the successful exploitation of these devices mainly depends on osseointegration, considered as both anatomical congruency and load-bearing capacity. Indeed, the osseointegration process is influenced by a wide range of factors: anatomical location, implant size and design, surgical procedure, loading effects, biological fluids, age and sex, and, in particular, surface characteristics. For this reason, several attempts have been aimed at modifying implant surface composition and morphology to optimise implant-to-bone contact and improve integration. Preliminary interactions between implanted materials and biological environment are deemed to be governed by the surface properties; they control the amount and quality of cell adhesion on the surface and, consequently, cell/tissue growth. Thus, surface properties govern new bone tissue formation and implant osseointegration. This paper reviews the state of art in the field of physical, chemical and biochemical treatments commonly used on Ti-based biomaterials for the production of biomedical devices. In particular, roughness characteristics due to physical and chemical techniques are investigated; the development of biologically active surfaces by means of biochemical functionalisation is also considered.
