Abstract
In order to endow titanium metals with bioactivity and antimicrobial properties titanium plates were subjected to anodic oxidation treatment in NaCl solutions in this study The treated titanium metals could induce apatite formation in the fast calcification solution and osteoblasts on the treated titanium surfaces proliferated well as those on the untreated titanium metal surfaces The treated metals could inhibit S aureus growth in the microbial culture experiments It was assumed that TiOH groups and TiCl groups formed on the treated titanium surface were responsible for the bioactivity and antimicrobial properties of the metals The anodic oxidation treatment was an effective way to prepare bioactive titanium surfaces with antimicrobial propertiesSupported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China Grant Nos 50672062 and 30870615 Key Programs for Science and Technology Development of Sichuan Province China Grant No 2008SZ0104 and Sichuan Youth Science Technology Foundation China Grant No 09ZQ026033
