Ti implants were coated with a nanostructured film composed of Cgr, TiC and TiOx.
The TiC layer stimulates adhesion, proliferation and activity of osteoblasts.
Uncoated and TiC coated titanium implants were implanted in rabbit femurs.
Bone-implant contacts of TiC coated implants were higher than that of uncoated.
Mineral Apposition Rate of TiC coated implants were higher than that of uncoated.
