Key Points

Investigate how graphene coatings affect bacterial adhesion and osteoblast compatibility on implant surfaces.
Evaluated adhesion of bacterial cells on graphene-coated and control surfaces.
Assessed osteoblast behavior in response to graphene coatings.
Conducted laboratory experiments to measure biofilm formation and cell interactions.
Graphene coatings significantly reduced bacterial adhesion compared to control surfaces (p<0.01).
Enhanced osteoblast viability and proliferation on graphene materials (p<0.05).
Demonstrated potential for improved implant longevity with reduced biofilm formation.
