Abstract: The properties of osseointegration and antibacterial ability is vital import for dental materials. Herein, we designed the multilayer TC4–Ag–polydopamine coatings, to provide TC4 with slow-release antibacterial properties whilst maintaining cytocompatibility. In brief, thickness of Ag… read more here.
