The next evolution in titanium implants is likely to be through biologically inspired specific surface modification. This trend in modify surfaces with (bio) chemical moieties that have the potential to induce cell - selective responses, increase bacterial resistance, reduce the risk of inflammation and improve the long-term performance of the implant. The easiest way of immobilizing biological molecules of biological nature on an implant surface is by simply dipping the implant into a solution that contains biological molecules.
