Abstract

The study discusses the value of improved biomaterials, particularly coatings for titanium and its alloys that are employed in medical settings. Demonstrates how coating processes like electrophoretic (EPD) can be used to enhance the mechanical and biological qualities of these materials. Because titanium is lightweight and resistant to corrosion, it is a preferred material for medical implants used in tissue repair and fracture treatment. The study also analyzes the use of ceramic coatings like hydroxyapatite and tio2 in promoting bone regeneration, as well as issues with biocompatibility and tissue adhesion that arise in the creation of metallic implants. Positive outcomes indicate that advancements in biomaterials can enhance treatment results and augment the efficacy of medical implants, hence augmenting patients' quality of life.
