Abstract

A proper design of an implant material is aimed to provide the required durability, functionality and biological response. Durability and functionality depends on the bulk properties of the material, whereas biological response depends on the surface chemistry, surface topography, surface roughness, wettability, surface charge, and surface energy. Biocompatible implant materials should be nontoxic, noncarcinogenic, with little or no foreign body reaction and be chemically stable or corrosion resistant.
