Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of forming an implant to be implanted into living bone is disclosed. The method comprises the act of roughening at least a portion of the implant surface to produce a microscale roughened surface. The method further comprises the act of immersing the microscale roughened surface into a solution containing hydrogen peroxide and a basic solution to produce a nanoscale roughened surface consisting of nanopitting superimposed on the microscale roughened surface. The nanoscale roughened surface has a property that promotes osseointegration.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of forming an implant to be implanted into living bone, the method comprising the acts of: roughening at least a portion of the implant surface to produce a first topography; further roughening the implant surface to produce a second topography superimposed on the first topography; and providing a nanoscale topography superimposed on the first and second topographies. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the implant is made…
