| Inhoud: |
The paper summarizes knowledge on the interaction between titanium and hydrogen peroxide. It also serves as a general introduction to an important but perhaps overlooked area in biomaterial research, namely the behaviour of implant material during the inflammatory response inevitably caused by the surgical trauma. A tentative picture of the influence of a titanium implant on the inflammatory response is given. The importance of the interaction between oxygen species like hydrogen peroxide, produced in vivo, and an implant is pointed out. For titanium this leads to an increase in the thickness of the oxide on the metal surface, catalytic decomposition of the hydrogen peroxide to form O2 and H,O and the formation of titanium peroxide and titanium superoxide outside the metal. Furthermore, it is pointed out that this interaction may also change the behaviour of the implant surface towards protein molecules. |
