Abstract
In order to enhance osteogenic differentiation and antibacterial property of dental implants, volcano-shaped microporous TiO 2 coatings doped with Cu were fabricated via micro-arc oxidation (MAO) on Ti. Cu-doped coating with different mass ratios of Cu were obtained by changing the concentration of copper acetate in the electrolyte. The structure of Cu-TiO 2 coatings were systematically investigated. Element Copper was uniformly distributed throughout the coating. Compared with TiO 2 coating, the Cu-doped can further improved proliferation of bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs), facilitated osteogenic differentiation. The bacteriostasis experiments demonstrated that Cu-doped TiO 2 coating possess excellent antibacterial property against Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) and Porphyromonas gingivalis ( P. gingivalis ).
