Cover Story: This review outlines the main materials used for metal implant manufacturing and some general coating techniques. It focuses on recent trends in the design and performance of biomedical coatings for metallic implants used for orthopedic and dental applications. The ways to improve the bioactive coating performance by incorporating bioactive moieties, such as growth factors, osteogenic factors, immunomodulatory factors, antibiotics, or other drugs that are locally released in a controlled manner, have also been addressed. The influence of the bioactive films on the in vitro behavior of cells cultured on coated implants and in vitro/in vivo performance of the implant systems is underlined. View this paper
