| Abstract |
This chapter discusses the application of coatings for improving the osseointegration of metallic implant materials. First, the definition of osseointegration and the methods for evaluating the osseointegration are described. The chapter then reviews the biological process of osseointegration. Second, the definition, preparation methods, and mechanisms to promote osseointegration of the coatings are discussed. At the end, the current clinical application and the future trends of these coatings are reviewed.
