Nanostructures Improve Bone Response to Titanium Implants

Titanium implants were successfully introduced by P.I. Branemark and co-workers in 1969 for the rehabilitation of edentulous jaws. After 40 years of research and development, titanium is currently the most frequently used biomaterial in oral implantology, and titanium-based materials are often used to replace lost tissue in several parts of the body.
