Implant-associated infection is the main reasons for implant failure. Titanium and titanium alloy are currently the most widely used implant materials. However, they have limited antibacterial performance. Therefore, enhancing the antibacterial ability of implants by surface modification technology has become a trend of research. Tantalum is a potential implant coating material with good biological properties. With the development of surface modification technology, tantalum coating becomes more functional through improvement. In addition to improving osseointegration, its antibacterial performance has also become the focus of attention. In this review, we provide an overview of the latest strategies to improve tantalum antibacterial properties. We demonstrate the potential of the clinical application of tantalum in reducing implant infections by stressing its advantageous properties.
种植体相关感染是导致种植体失败的主要原因。钛及钛合金是目前应用最广泛的种植体材料,但它们的抗菌性能有限。因此,通过表面改性技术来提高植入物的抗菌能力已成为研究趋势。钽是一种具有良好生物性能的潜在植入物涂层材料。随着表面改性技术的发展,通过改进,钽涂层变得更具功能性。除了改善骨整合外,其抗菌性能也成为关注焦点。在这篇综述中,我们提供了最新策略的概述,这些策略旨在提高钽的抗菌性能。我们通过强调其有利特性来证明钽在减少植入物感染方面的临床应用潜力。
