The roles of different scale ranges of surface implant topography on the stability of the bone/implant interface
TL;DR: It is demonstrated here that higher order, micron or coarse-micron, topography is a requirement for longer-term interfacial stability and each of these topographical scale-ranges represents a scale-range seen in natural bone tissue.

Topographic scale-range synergy at the functional bone/implant interface.
TL;DR: These findings provide mechanistic explanations for the biologically-relevant criteria that can be employed to assess the importance of implant surface topography at different scale-ranges.

Bone healing and the effect of implant surface topography on osteoconduction in hyperglycemia
TL;DR: The compromised implant integration in hyperglycemia is abrogated by the addition of nanotopographical features to an underlying microtopographically complex implant surface.

Formation of OTS self-assembled monolayers at chemically treated titanium surfaces
TL;DR: Investigation of the effectiveness of common chemical pre-treatments in facilitating surface decontamination and hydroxylation of titanium surfaces to promote further surface functionalization by SAMs highlights the difficulty of achieving an OTS based SAM at the surface of titanium and question the quality of SAMs reported at titanium surfaces so far.

TL;DR: By electropolishing the surface of Ti, suitable physical/chemical surface properties were obtained for adequate growth of OctadecylTrichloroSilane (OTS) based SAM and the successful implementation of OTS-SAM was investigated through the immobilization and delivery of a model drug and the OTS monolayer showed clear abilities in drug delivery.
