Abstract
Biomaterials can induce an inflammatory response in surrounding tissues after implantation, generating and releasing reactive oxygen species (ROS), such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The excessive accumulation of ROS may create a microenvironment with high levels of oxidative stress (OS), which subsequently accelerates the degradation of the passive film on the surface of titanium (Ti) alloys and affects their biological activity. The immunomodulatory role of macrophages in biomaterial osteogenesis under OS is unknown. This study aimed to explore the corrosion behavior and bone formation of Ti implants under an OS microenvironment. In this study, the corrosion resistance and osteoinduction capabilities in normal and OS conditions of the Ti-24Nb-4Zr-8Sn (wt %, Ti2448) were assessed. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis indicated that the Ti2448 alloy exhibited superior corrosion resistance on exposure to excessive ROS compared to the Ti-6Al-4V (TC4) alloy. This can be attributed to the formation of the TiO2 and Nb2O5 passive films, which mitigated the adverse effects of OS. In vitro MC3T3-E1 cell experiments revealed that the Ti2448 alloy exhibited good biocompatibility in the OS microenvironment, whereas the osteogenic differentiation level was comparable to that of the TC4 alloy. The Ti2448 alloy significantly alleviates intercellular ROS levels, inducing a higher proportion of M2 phenotypes (52.7%) under OS. Ti2448 alloy significantly promoted the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine, interleukin 10 (IL-10), and osteoblast-related cytokines, bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), which relatively increased by 26.9 and 31.4%, respectively, compared to TC4 alloy. The Ti2448 alloy provides a favorable osteoimmune environment and significantly promotes the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts in vitro compared to the TC4 alloy. Ultimately, the Ti2448 alloy demonstrated excellent corrosion resistance and immunomodulatory properties in an OS microenvironment, providing valuable insights into potential clinical applications as implants to repair bone tissue defects.

J Biomed Mater Res B Appl Biomater 2024; 112:e35404.

Abstract
Literature data has shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS), generated by immune cells during post-operative inflammation, could induce corrosion of standard Ti-based biomaterials. For Ti6Al4V alloy, this process can be further accelerated by the presence of albumin. However, this phenomenon remains unexplored for Ti β-phase materials, such as TiNb alloys. These alloys are attractive due to their relatively low elastic modulus value. This study aims to address the question of how albumin influences the corrosion resistance of TiNb alloy under simulated inflammation. Electrochemical and ion release tests have revealed that albumin significantly enhances corrosion resistance over both short (2 and 24 h) and long (2 weeks) exposure periods. Furthermore, post-immersion XPS and cross-section TEM analysis have demonstrated that prolonged exposure to an albumin-rich inflammatory solution results in the complete coverage of the TiNb surface by a protein layer. Moreover, TEM studies revealed that H2O2-induced oxidation and further formation of a defective oxide film were suppressed in the solution enriched with albumin. Overall results indicate that contrary to Ti6Al4V, the addition of albumin to the PBS + H2O2 solution is not necessary to simulate the harsh inflammatory conditions as could possibly be found in the vicinity of a TiNb implant.

Abstract
Metal injection molding (MIM) is one of the most widely used manufacturing processes worldwide as it is a cost-effective way of producing a variety of dental and orthopedic implants, surgical instruments, and other important biomedical products. Titanium (Ti) and Ti alloys are popular modern metallic materials that have revamped the biomedical sector as they have superior biocompatibility, excellent corrosion resistance, and high static and fatigue strength. This paper systematically reviews the MIM process parameters that extant studies have used to produce Ti and Ti alloy components between 2013 and 2022 for the medical industry. Moreover, the effect of sintering temperature on the mechanical properties of the MIM-processed sintered components has been reviewed and discussed. It is concluded that by appropriately selecting and implementing the processing parameters at different stages of the MIM process, defect-free Ti and Ti alloy-based biomedical components can be produced. Therefore, this present study could greatly benefit future studies that examine using MIM to develop products for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The performance of current biomedical titanium alloys is limited by inflammatory and severe inflammatory conditions after implantation. In this study, a novel Ti-Nb-Zr-Si (TNZS) alloy was developed and compared with commercially pure titanium, and Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Electrochemical parameters of specimens were monitored during 1 h and 12 h immersion in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) as a normal, PBS/hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an inflammatory, and PBS/H2O2/albumin/lactate as a severe inflammatory media. The results showed an effect of the H2O2 in inflammatory condition and the synergistic behavior of H2O2, albumin, and lactate in severe inflammatory condition towards decreasing the corrosion resistance of titanium biomaterials. Electrochemical tests revealed a superior corrosion resistance of the TNZS in all conditions due to the presence of silicide phases. The developed TNZS was tested for subsequent cell culture investigation to understand its biocompatibility nature. It exhibited favorable cell-materials interactions in vitro compared with Ti-6Al-4V. The results suggest that TNZS alloy might be a competitive biomaterial for orthopedic applications.

Abstract
Titanium and Titanium alloys are widely used as biomedical implants in oral and maxillofacial surgery, due to superior mechanical properties and biocompatibility. In specific clinical populations such as the elderly, diabetics and patients with metabolic diseases, the failure rate of medical metal implants is increased significantly, putting them at increased risk of revision surgery. Many studies show that the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the microenvironment of bone tissue surrounding implant materials is increased in patients undergoing revision surgery. In addition, the size and shape of materials, the morphology, wettability, mechanical properties, and other properties play significant roles in the production of ROS. The accumulated ROS break the original balance of oxidation and anti-oxidation, resulting in host oxidative stress. It may accelerate implant degradation mainly by activating inflammatory cells. Peri-implantitis usually leads to a loss of bone mass around the implant, which tends to affect the long-term stability and longevity of implant. Therefore, a great deal of research is urgently needed to focus on developing antibacterial technologies. The addition of active elements to biomedical titanium and titanium alloys greatly reduce the risk of postoperative infection in patients. Besides, innovative technologies are developing new biomaterials surfaces conferring anti-infective properties that rely on the production of ROS. It can be considered that ROS may act as a messenger substance for the communication between the host and the implanted material, which run through the entire wound repair process and play a role that cannot be ignored. It is necessary to understand the interaction between oxidative stress and materials, the effects of oxidative stress products on osseointegration and implant life as well as ROS-induced bactericidal activity. This helps to facilitate the development of a new generation of well-biocompatible implant materials with ROS responsiveness, and ultimately prolong the lifespan of implants.

Abstract
The present work explored the use of the selective laser melting (SLM) technique to develop a Zr-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) and investigate the influence of the process parameters on obtaining different levels of surface roughness. Moreover, the potential of the additively manufactured BMG Zr59.3Cu28.8Al10.4Nb1.5 (trade name AMLOY-ZR01) as an implant material was studied by evaluating the osteoblastic cell response to the alloy and its stability under simulated biological environments. The materials were characterized in terms of degree of crystallinity, surface roughness, and morphology, followed by a systematic investigation of the response of the MC3T3-E1 preosteoblastic cell line to the as-printed samples. The materials supported cell proliferation and differentiation of the preosteoblastic cells, with results comparable to the reference material Ti-6Al-4V. The surface microroughness and surface morphology (porous or groove-type laser tracks) investigated in this study did not have a significant effect on modulating the cell response. Ion release experiments showed a large increase in ion release under inflammatory conditions as compared to regular physiological conditions, which could be attributed to the increased local corrosion under inflammatory conditions. The findings in this work showed that the surface roughness of the additively manufactured BMG AMLOY-ZR01 can be tailored by controlling the laser power applied during the SLM process. The favorable cell response to the as-printed AMLOY-ZR01 represents of a significant advancement of the investigation of additively manufactured BMGs for orthopedic applications, while the results of the ion release study highlights the effect that inflammatory conditions could have on the degradation of the alloy.

Abstract
CoCrMo alloys are well-established biomaterials used for orthopedic joint replacement implants. However, such alloys have been associated with clinical problems related to wear and corrosion. A new generation of austenitic high-nitrogen steels (AHNSs) has been developed for biomedical applications. Here, we have addressed influences of hyaluronic acid, combined with inflammatory (oxidizing) conditions, on tribocorrosion of the high-nitrogen FeCrMnMoN0.9 steel (DIN/EN X13CrMnMoN18-14-3, 1.4452), and of the low carbon CoCrMo0.03 alloy (ISO 5832-12). We aimed to elucidate critical and clinically relevant conditions affecting the implant's performance in certain orthopedic applications. Tribocorrosion tests were conducted in triplicate, with discs under reciprocating sliding wear against a ceramic ball. Different lubricants were prepared from standardized bovine serum solution (ISO 14242-1), with variable additions of hyaluronic acid (HA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ). Test conditions were: 37°C, 86,400 cycles, 37 N load (20-40 MPa after run-in phase). Volumetric wear was quantified; surfaces were evaluated by electrochemical parameters and microscopy/spectroscopy analyses (SEM/EDS). Factorial analysis of variance tests was conducted to examine the effects of HA, H2 O2 , and test material on wear- and corrosion-related dependent variables. Tribocorrosion performances of CoCrMo0.03 and FeCrMnMoN0.9 were comparable in fluids without H2 O2 . With higher H2 O2 concentrations, tribocorrosion increased for CoCrMo0.03 , while this was not the case for FeCrMnMoN0.9 . HA significantly enhanced wear of CoCrMo0.03 in the absence of H2 O2 , while it mitigated the tribocorrosive action of 3 mM H2 O2 ; HA had no impact on FeCrMnMoN0.9 . These results indicate a favorable performance of FeCrMnMoN0.9 compared to CoCrMo0.03 , and encourage further research on AHNS for certain orthopedic applications.

Abstract
In this study, we report results of the interaction of titanium (Ti) with human synovial fluids. A wide palette of electrochemical techniques was used, including open circuit potential, potentiodynamic methods, and electrochemical impedance. After the electrochemical testing, selected surfaces were analyzed using Auger Electron Spectroscopy to provide laterally resolved information on surface chemistry. For comparison purposes, similar tests were conducted in a series of simulated body fluids. This study shows that compared to the tested simulated body fluids, synovial liquids show a large patient variability up to one order of magnitude for some crucial electrochemical parameters such as corrosion current density. The electrochemical behavior of Ti exposed to human synovial fluids seems to be controlled by the interaction with organic molecules rather than with reactive oxygen species.

Abstract
Titanium and alloys thereof are widely utilized for biomedical applications in the fields of orthopedics and dentistry. The corrosion resistance and perceived biocompatibility of such materials are essentially related to the presence of a thin passive oxide layer on the surface. However, during inflammation phases, the immune system and its leukocytic cells generate highly aggressive molecules, such as hydrogen peroxide and radicals, that can significantly alter the passive film resulting in the degradation of the titanium implants. In combination with mechanical factors, this can lead to the release of metal ions, nanoparticles or microscaled debris in the surrounding tissues (which may sustain chronic inflammation), bring about relevant health issues and contribute to implant loss or failure. After briefly presenting the context of inflammation, this review article analyses the state-of-the-art knowledge of the in vitro corrosion of titanium, titanium alloys and coated titanium by reactive oxygen species and by living cells with an emphasis on electrochemical and microstructural aspects. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Inflammation involves the production of reactive oxygen species that are known to alter the passive layer protecting titanium implants against the aggressive environment of the human body. Inflammatory processes therefore contribute to the deterioration of biomedical devices. Although review articles on biomaterials for implant applications are regularly published in the literature, none has ever focused specifically on the topic of inflammation. After briefly recalling the clinical context, this review analyses the in vitro studies on titanium corrosion under simulated inflammation conditions from the pioneer works of the 80s and the 90s till the most recent investigations. It reports about the status of this research area for a multidisciplinary readership covering the fields of materials science, corrosion and implantology.

Abstract
The search for coatings that extend the useful life of biomedical devices has been of great interest, and titanium has been of great relevance due to its innocuousness and low reactivity. This study contributes to the investigation of Ti/Ag films in different configurations (monolayer and multilayer) deposited by magnetron sputtering. The sessile droplet technique was applied to study wettability; greater film penetrability was obtained when Ag is the external layer, conferring high efficiency in cell adhesion. The morphological properties were characterized by SEM, which showed porous nuclei on the surface in the Ag coating and crystals embedded in the Ti film. The structural properties were studied by XRD, revealing the presence of TiO2 in the anatase crystalline phase in a proportion of 49.9% and the formation of a silver cubic network centered on the faces. Tafel polarization curves demonstrated improvements in the corrosion current densities of Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti and Ti/Ag compared to the Ag coating, with values of 0.1749, 0.4802, and 2.044 nA.m-2, respectively. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated against the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis and the yeasts Candida krusei and Candida albicans, revealing that the Ti/Ag and Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti/Ag/Ti coatings exhibit promise in biomedical material applications.

[PMID: 33579482 DOI: 10.1016/j.msec.2020.111848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/16/2020] [Revised: 10/10/2020] [Accepted: 12/27/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023]
Abstract
The work presents a detailed study on the diamond-like structures doped with Si atoms and biopolymers-based coatings (chitosan, alginate) enriched with Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) deposited on the Ti-6Al-7Nb substrate. Multilayers were obtained by Plasma Enhanced Radio Frequency Chemical Vapour Deposition (PE RF CVD) technique and subsequent deposition of biopolymers by immersion method. The impact of Si atoms and Ag NPs on chemical structure, microstructure, topography, cytotoxicity as well as the hardness and Young modulus of the resulting layers was precisely investigated. The most advantageous conditions of plasma functionalization in RF reactor were the mixture of O2-Ar-NH3 in volume ratio of 10/1/9 in the first stage of functionalization (pre-activation). In the case of Si-DLC coatings (up to ca. 19 at.%) the lower silane flow (4 cm3/min) resulted in significant decrease of surface roughness (up to ca. Ra = 0.71 nm) of modified surfaces and increase of hardness reaching ca. 900 nm depth into surface (up to ca. 16 GPa). The most attractive among biopolymer-based coating on Ti-6Al-7Nb in terms of biological activity was chitosan with Ag NPs (diameter of ca. 25 nm) with additional alginate layer. AFM analysis revealed a uniform distribution of Ag NPs in the chitosan matrix. This contributed to advantageous physicochemical and biological properties assuring proper cell adhesion and proliferation. Noteworthy, the resulting surface functionalization of Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy did not cause significant cytotoxicity in vitro, giving a strong hope for perspective applications in implantology.

Influences of sodium tantalite submicro-particles in polyetheretherketone based composites on behaviors of rBMSCs/HGE-1 cells for dental application. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2019; 188:110723.

Abstract
Dental implanted materials require excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility as well as integration with bone tissue and gingival tissue to achieve early loading and long-term stability. In this study, cubic shape sodium tantalite (ST) submicro-particles with the size of around 180 nm were synthesized by a hydrothermal method, and ST/polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composites (TPC) with ST content of 20 w% (TPC20) and 40 w% (TPC40) were prepared by melting blend. The results showed that the compressive strength, thermal properties, surface roughness, hydrophilicity and surface energy as well as adsorption of proteins on TPC40 were also significantly enhanced compared with TPC20 and PEEK. Moreover, the responses (adhesion and proliferation as well as differentiation) of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (rBMSCs), and responses (adhesion, and proliferation) of human gingival epithelial (HGE-1) cells to TPC40 were significantly promoted compared with TPC20 and PEEK. The results demonstrated that ST content in TPC had remarkable effects on the surface properties, which played key roles in stimulating the responses of both rBMSCs and HGE-1 cells. TPC40 with increased surface properties and excellent cytocompatibility might have great potential as an implanted material for dental application.

Abstract
Background Titanium (Ti) and its alloys possess high biocompatibility and corrosion resistance due to Ti ability to form a passive oxide film, i.e. TiO2, immediately after contact with oxygen. This passive layer is considered stable during function in the oral cavity, however, emerging information associate inflammatory peri-implantitis to vast increases in Ti corrosion products around diseased implants as compared to healthy ones. Thus, it is imperative to identify which factors in the peri-implant micro-environment may reduce Ti corrosion resistance. Methods The aim of this work is to simulate peri-implant inflammatory conditions in vitro to determine which factors affect corrosion susceptibility of Ti-6Al-4V dental implants. The effects of hydrogen peroxide (surrogate for reactive oxygen species, ROS, found during inflammation), albumin (a protein typical of physiological fluids), deaeration (to simulate reduced pO2 conditions during inflammation), in an acidic environment (pH 3), which is typical of inflammation condition, were investigated. Corrosion resistance of Ti-6Al-4V clinically-relevant acid etched surfaces was investigated by electrochemical techniques: Open Circuit Potential; Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy; and Anodic Polarization. Results Electrochemical tests confirmed that most aggressive conditions to the Ti-6Al-4V alloy were those typical of occluded cells, i.e. oxidizing conditions (H2O2), in the presence of protein and deaeration of the physiological medium. Conclusions Our results provide evidence that titanium’s corrosion resistance can be reduced by intense inflammatory conditions. This observation indicates that the micro-environment to which the implant is exposed during peri-implant inflammation is highly aggressive and may lead to TiO2 passive layer attack. Further investigation of the effect of these aggressive conditions on titanium dissolution is warranted.

Abstract
Implants are exposed to a complex physiological environment that contains various organic compounds, especially proteins. The adsorption of proteins has an immense influence on the corrosion, biocompatibility and wear properties of implantable metals. Proteins engage in multiple processes that could potentially inhibit or promote metal degradation, depending on the type of proteins, their concentration and the properties of the implant material. In the bio corrosion process, proteins are denatured and transform into a film on the metal surface, inhibiting corrosion. This film is found on many retrieved artificial joints, especially on worn areas, and can protect the passive film from scrapping due to its lubricating effect, thus decreasing tribocorroion. On the other hand, the interactions of metal ions with proteins (and amino acids) create colloidal organometallic complexes. Transport of the complex compounds away from the interface increases dissolution rates; thus, it accelerates the corrosion of metallic implants. The influence of protein adsorption on the corrosion behaviour of metallic biomaterials is presented in this review. Biocompatible metals that are favourably used as implants such as stainless steel, Co-Cr alloys, Ti alloys and biodegradable Mg and Fe alloys are specifically addressed. We have highlighted the adsorption phenomenon of protein on metallic implants, the interaction of proteins with metallic implants and the role of protein adsorption on implant biocorrosion behaviour as well as their wear resistance.

Abstract
The corrosion of Co–28Cr–6Mo and Co–35Ni–20Cr–10Mo, as biomedical alloys, has been investigated for effects of typical species (albumin and H2O2) in physiological saline, with their coexistence explored for the first time. Electrochemical and long term immersion tests were carried out. It was found that Co alloys were not sensitive to the presence of albumin alone, which slightly promoted anodic dissolution of Co–35Ni–20Cr–10Mo without noticeably affecting Co–28Cr–6Mo and facilitated oxide film dissolution on both alloys. H2O2 led to a clear drop in corrosion resistance, favouring metal release and surface oxide formation and inducing much thicker but less compact oxide films for both alloys. The coexistence of both species resulted in the worst corrosion resistance and most metal release, while the amount and composition of surface oxide remained at a similar level as in the absence of both. The effect of H2O2 inducing low compactness of surface oxides should prevail on deciding the poor corrosion protection ability of passive film, while albumin simultaneously promoted dissolution or inhibited formation of oxides due to H2O2. Corrosion resistance was consistently lower for Co–35Ni–20Cr–10Mo under each condition, the only alloy where the synergistic effect of both species was clearly demonstrated. This work suggests that the complexity of the environment must be considered for corrosion resistance evaluation of biomedical alloys. Corrosion of biomedical Co alloys were firstly studied in the presence of both albumin and H2O2.![]()

Abstract
Metallic biomaterials in the oral cavity are exposed to many factors such as saliva, bacterial microflora, food, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical forces. Extreme conditions present in the oral cavity affect biomaterial exploitation and significantly reduce its biofunctionality, limiting the time of exploitation stability. We mainly refer to friction, corrosion, and biocorrosion processes. Saliva plays an important role and is responsible for lubrication and biofilm formation as a transporter of nutrients for microorganisms. The presence of metallic elements in the oral cavity may lead to the formation of electro-galvanic cells and, as a result, may induce corrosion. Transitional microorganisms such as sulfate-reducing bacteria may also be present among the metabolic microflora in the oral cavity, which can induce biological corrosion. Microorganisms that form a biofilm locally change the conditions on the surface of biomaterials and contribute to the intensification of the biocorrosion processes. These processes may enhance allergy to metals, inflammation, or cancer development. On the other hand, the presence of saliva and biofilm may significantly reduce friction and wear on enamel as well as on biomaterials. This work summarizes data on the influence of saliva and oral biofilms on the destruction of metallic biomaterials.

Time-dependent Enhanced Corrosion of Ti6Al4V in the Presence of H 2O 2 and Albumin. Sci Rep 2018; 8:3185.

Abstract
There is increasing concern regarding the biological consequences of metal release from implants. However, the mechanisms underpinning implant surface degradation, especially in the absence of wear, are often poorly understood. Here the synergistic effect of albumin and H2O2 on corrosion of Ti6Al4V in physiological saline is studied with electrochemical methods. It is found that albumin induces a time-dependent dissolution of Ti6Al4V in the presence of H2O2 in physiology saline. Potentiostatic polarisation measurements show that albumin supresses dissolution in the presence of H2O2 at short times (<24 h) but over longer time periods (120 h) it significantly accelerates corrosion, which is attributed to albumin-catalysed dissolution of the corrosion product layer resulting in formation of a thinner oxide film. Dissolution of Ti6Al4V in the presence of albumin and H2O2 in physiological saline is also found to be dependent on potential: the titanium ion release rate is found to be higher (0.57 µg/cm2) at a lower potential (90 mV), where the oxide capacitance and resistance inferred from Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy also suggests a less resistant oxide film. The study highlights the importance of using more realistic solutions, and considering behaviour over longer time periods when testing corrosion resistance of metallic biomaterials.

Abstract
It has been shown that the cellular responses such as adhesion, proliferation and differentiation are influenced by the surface properties, such as the topography or the surface energy. However, less is known about the effect of the chemical composition and type of material on the differentiation potential. The objective of the present paper is to compare the differentiation potential of periodontal ligament cells (HPLC) into adipocytes, osteoblasts, chondroblasts and cementoblasts of three type of materials (metals, ceramics and polymers) without using any biological induction media, but keeping the average roughness values within a limited range of 2.0-3.0μm. The samples were produced as discs of 14×2mm; (n=30 for each type of material). Two samples of each type were chosen; stainless-steel 316L and commercially pure titanium for the metallic samples. The polymers were polymethyl methacrylate and high-density polyethylene, and finally for the ceramics; zirconia and dental porcelain were used. The surfaces properties of the samples (wettability, chemical composition and point of zero charge, PZC) were measured in order to correlate them with the biological response. To evaluate the potential of differentiation, human periodontal ligament cells obtained from extracted teeth were used since they are a promising source for periodontal tissue regeneration. Cell proliferation was initially tested to assure non-toxic effects using a viability colorimetric assay. Finally, the differentiation pattern was evaluated using real time reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction for 5, 10 and 15days without adding any induction medium. The results indicated that the relative expression of genes related to a particular phenotype were different for each surface. However, not clear correlation between the type of material or their surface properties (morphology, chemical composition, wettability or point of zero charge) and the expression pattern could be identified. For example, bone markers were mainly expressed on cpTi and PMMA; one metallic hydrophobic and one polymeric hydrophilic sample which have similar Ra values but presented different topographical features, although both samples have in common a PZC below 7.

Abstract
Biocompatible metals have been revolutionizing the biomedical field, predominantly in human implant applications, where these metals widely used as a substitute to or as function restoration of degenerated tissues or organs. Powder metallurgy techniques, in specific the metal injection moulding (MIM) process, have been employed for the fabrication of controlled porous structures used for dental and orthopaedic surgical implants. The porous metal implant allows bony tissue ingrowth on the implant surface, thereby enhancing fixation and recovery. This paper elaborates a systematic classification of various biocompatible metals from the aspect of MIM process as used in medical industries. In this study, three biocompatible metals are reviewed-stainless steels, cobalt alloys, and titanium alloys. The applications of MIM technology in biomedicine focusing primarily on the MIM process setting parameters discussed thoroughly. This paper should be of value to investigators who are interested in state of the art of metal powder metallurgy, particularly the MIM technology for biocompatible metal implant design and development.

Abstract
Corrosion prevention in biomaterials has become crucial particularly to overcome inflammation and allergic reactions caused by the biomaterials' implants towards the human body. When these metal implants contacted with fluidic environments such as bloodstream and tissue of the body, most of them became mutually highly antagonistic and subsequently promotes corrosion. Biocompatible implants are typically made up of metallic, ceramic, composite and polymers. The present paper specifically focuses on biocompatible metals which favorably used as implants such as 316L stainless steel, cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, pure titanium and titanium-based alloys. This article also takes a close look at the effect of corrosion towards the implant and human body and the mechanism to improve it. Due to this corrosion delinquent, several surface modification techniques have been used to improve the corrosion behavior of biocompatible metals such as deposition of the coating, development of passivation oxide layer and ion beam surface modification. Apart from that, surface texturing methods such as plasma spraying, chemical etching, blasting, electropolishing, and laser treatment which used to improve corrosion behavior are also discussed in detail. Introduction of surface modifications to biocompatible metals is considered as a "best solution" so far to enhanced corrosion resistance performance; besides achieving superior biocompatibility and promoting osseointegration of biocompatible metals and alloys.
