Observational analysis revealed enhanced fusion with bone tissue in titanium implants with calcium phosphate coatings, suggesting promising applications in neurosurgery and orthopedics.
Composite calcium phosphate coatings on titanium substrates (VT 6) were obtained by electrochemical deposition from a CaCO3/Ca(H2PO4)2 suspension electrolyte at 30 mA/cm2 and 5 min. Biomimetic apatite was formed on the composite coatings by soaking in a 3-fold concentrated model solution of Simulated Body Fluid (SBF × 3), and crystallized by heat treatment at 800 °C for 5 hours. The two-layer calcium phosphate coatings consisted of hydroxyapatite (71 %), calcium oxide (23 %), and β-tricalcium phosphate (6 %). Three-layer porous bioactive coatings enriched with apatite were obtained by soaking the two-layer coatings in a SBF × 3 solution. Changes in the phase composition of different types of coatings in vivo during implantation on the parietal bone of rats for 1, 3 and 6 months were revealed, which indicate the processes of resorption and interaction with body tissues. Titanium implants with multilayer calcium phosphate coatings are not rejected by the body, provide accelerated fusion with bone tissue and can be used in neurosurgery, dentistry and orthopedics.
