title: Surface chemical modification of hard tissues: I. Bone.
abstract: Surfaces of bone were modified in a controlled manner by grafting or by adding interpenetrating polymeric side chains to the bone substrate. The properties of the hard tissue surface attained varied widely. The surface alteration may improve the ability of hard tissues such as bone or dentin to adhere to restorative materials.
