NOVEL SURFACE OF METAL IMPLANTS BASED ON TITANIUM, TO BE INSERTED INTO OSSEOUS TISSUE

摘要

The invention defines a surface of a titanium-based metal implant to be inserted into bone tissue, characterised in that it comprises substantially pure titanium oxide and has a thickness of 8-50nm. Also, the invention defines a procedure for obtaining the surface, as well as the metal implant that exhibits it. This surface exhibits good micrometric roughness and a composition that is practically free from impurities and a thickness that is approximately three times the thickness of conventional surfaces; these characteristics provide it with very good osseointegration properties.
