Abstract:
The aim of this study is to improve the surface properties of CP Ti implants and Ti6Al4V ELI. This was achieved by preparing hydroxyapatite substituted with rare earth elements, magnesium, and zinc, then utilizing them as biomaterials for coating samples by EPD technique. The properties of samples after coating were studied in vitro and in vivo, where the results showed significant improvement in the engineering and biological properties of the samples after the coating process.
