Engineering microdent structures of bone implant surfaces to enhance osteogenic activity in MSCs

Problems persist with the integration of hip and dental implants with host bone tissues, which may result in long-term implant failure. Previous studies have found that implants bearing irregular surfaces can facilitate osseointegration. An improvement to this approach would use implant surfaces har...
