The osteointegration of osseous fixing implants may be improved through a series of surface treatments. Said treatments comprise a cleaning and passivation process, the application of a coating in the system Ca-P-H-O-C through the laser ablation technique and a sterilisation process by irradiation. The flexibility of this method provides for the control of physico-chemical properties of the obtained surface in order to match said properties with those of the bone in which the implant will be placed. |
