Abstract
This study aims to improve the antibacterial effectiveness against Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) of Ti6Al4V alloy by employing functional Ag coating on the alloy's surface. In this study, Ag coating was prepared on Ti6Al4V surface via RF magnetron sputtering, then investigated characteristics and anti‐S. mutans properties of the modified surface's alloy before and after immersing in simulated body fluid (SBF) solution for one month. Data showed that the two coatings inhibited the development of S. mutans colony‐forming units (CFU) at an incubation time until seven days. This study provides a research foundation for further development of surface modification of Ti6Al4V alloy for dental implants to meet the demand of reducing peri‐implant diseases caused by bacteria.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
