A review of techniques for the application of bioactive coatings on metal-based implants to achieve controlled release of active ingredients

Metallic implants have the disadvantage of being insufficiently biologically active despite their good mechanical properties and general affordability. Therefore, their bone growth at the implant site in an osteoinductive and osteoconductive manner could be improved by using bioactive coatings with...
