Peptide coating applied on the spot improves osseointegration of titanium implants

Anna Gitelman Povimonsky, Hanna Rapaport

Abstract

. In the model blood serum the peptide coated implants were found to adsorb cell adhesion proteins. The efficacy of peptide coated titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) implants was tested in a rabbit femur bone model. Histology and micro-computerized tomography (μCT) analysis of the removed femora showed a higher bone density and improved bone-implant osseointegration compared to uncoated implants.
