Abstract:
A method of depositing a relatively thin film of bioinert material onto a surgical implant substrate, such as a dental implant. Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) may be used to deposit a layer of tantalum and/or other biocompatible materials onto a solid substrate comprised of an implantable titanium alloy, forming a biofilm-resistant textured surface on the substrate while preserving the material properties and characteristics of the substrate, such as fatigue strength.

Claim (Index 21):
A method for depositing a biocompatible metal onto an implantable metallic substrate, the method comprising the steps of:\n providing the implantable metallic substrate comprising a titanium alloy within a reaction chamber; and chemical vapor depositing the biocompatible metal onto the implantable metallic substrate so as to form an angulated textured metallic coating on the implantable metallic substrate, wherein the biocompatible metal includes at least one of tantalum, niobium, hafnium, tungsten, and alloys thereof.
