Calcium Phosphate Formation On Anodized Commercially Pure Titanium In Simulated Body Fluid Solution, Butsarin Loktrakul, Viritpon Srimaneepong

Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal

Objective To investigate the surface characteristics of anodized commercially pure titanium grade 2 prepared in different electrolytes and the relationship between surface properties and calcium phosphate formation immersed in simulated body fluid solution. Materials and methods Commercially pure titanium grade 2 plates sized 10 x 15 x 0.5 mm3 were divided into three groups, 10 specimens for each group, including control. Potentiostatic anodization was performed for 30 minutes at room temperature. Group I specimens were anodized in 0.5 M H3PO4 with potential of 200 V and Group II specimens were anodized in 1 M NaOH solution with potential of 20 …
