Enhanced antibacterial activity of titanium by surface modification with polydopamine and silver for dental implant application
Background: Biofilm formation and microbial colonization on the surface of implant devices may cause dental caries and peri-implantitis. Therefore, various surface treatments have been developed to improve the antibacterial activity of titanium implant. Methods: Silver-loaded polydopamine coating wa...
