Abstract
Tantalum (Ta) metal has emerged as a prominent material within the realm of bone tissue engineering, owing to its favorable biocompatibility, commendable mechanical attributes, and notable biological properties such as osteoconductivity, osteoinductivity, and angiogenic potential. However, as clinical applications have expanded, Ta implants have unveiled a spectrum of limitations. Consequently, porous tantalum (PTa) has garnered escalating interest, attributable to its unique microstructural attributes, tunable mechanical characteristics, and inherent biocompatibility. Various methodologies have been proposed to modify the surface of PTa, with the aim of accelerating and enhancing osseous integration while fostering more robust osseointegration. Strategic surface modifications have the potential to augment the inherent advantages of PTa, thereby offering diverse avenues for exploration within the realm of surface effects on PTa. This review elucidates the ongoing research endeavors concerning diverse biomaterial coatings applied to PTa surfaces in the context of bone tissue engineering.
