16. Bioactive Surgical Implant Coatings with Optional Antibacterial Function
Sammanfattning : Device associated infections are a growing problem in the field of orthopaedics and dentistry. Bacteria adhering to implant surfaces and subsequent biofilm formation are challenging to treat with systemic administered antibiotics. LÄS MER
17. Biomimetic Deposition of Hydroxyapatite on Titanium Implant Materials
Sammanfattning : The clinical success of a bone-anchored implant is controlled by many factors such as implant shape, chemical composition, mechanical and surface properties. The surface properties (e.g. LÄS MER
18. Improved titanium and steel implants : Studies on bisphosphonate, strontium and surface treatments
Sammanfattning : Purpose: The general aim of this thesis was to increase the understanding of biomaterial surface modifications and local delivery of osteoporosis drugs for bone integration. We therefore (i) characterised and investigated model surface coatings for controlled drug delivery in a rat tibia screw model (ii) elucidated the effect of surface treatment for activation of complement system in vitro.

19. Injectable Biomaterials for Spinal Applications
Sammanfattning : The use of injectable biomaterials is growing as the demands for minimally invasive procedures, and more easily applicable implants become higher, but their availability is still limited due to the difficulties associated to their design.Each year, more than 700,000 vertebral compression fractures (VCF’s) are reported in the US and 500,000 VCF’s in Europe due to primary osteoporosis only.

20. Calcium Phosphate Based Biomaterials for Bone Augmentation
Sammanfattning : Basic (apatite-based) calcium phosphate cements (CPCs), and acidic (brushite and monetite-based) CPCs are used as bone replacement materials because of their bioactivity, mouldability and ability to harden in place. However, their application is limited by their inherent brittleness and difficulties related to their handling. LÄS MER
