Description
Summary:Biocompatible zeolite anti‐corrosion coatings have potential for success as bone scaffolding materials. In this work, reported by Y. Yan and co‐workers, titanium‐based dental implants are covered with zeolite MFI coatings to prevent against corrosion within the dental cavity. Zeolite coatings are non‐toxic, and prevent the release of toxic ions from metals into tissue. The 3D micro‐topology of the zeolites also enhances cell proliferation, differentiation, and surface adhesion.
