Abstract
study revealed that the nanoHAp coating markedly enhanced the attachment, proliferation, and differentiation of preosteoblasts on the alloy. These results provide a viable route to enhancing the bioactivity through deposition of nanoHAp with important implications for engineering additively manufactured orthopedic and dental implants suitable for better clinical performance.
