title: The order of calcium and phosphate ion deposition on chemically treated titanium surfaces soaked in aqueous solution.
abstract: The mechanism of apatite deposition on chemically treated Ti surfaces still is being studied. In this study, simulated body fluid, calcium aqueous solution, phosphate aqueous solution, and accelerated calcification solution are used as media to investigate the order of calcium and phosphate ion deposition on chemically treated Ti surfaces. The results of inductively coupled plasma spectra, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray analysis show that calcium deposition is the prerequisite for phosphate ion deposition.
