Bone Tissue Response Following Local Drug Delivery of Bisphosphonate Through Titanium Oxide Nanotube Implants in a Rabbit Model.

CONCLUSIONS: TiO2 nanotube implants may prove to be a significant delivery system for drugs or biologic agents aimed at supporting local bone formation. Additional study of candidate drugs/agents, optimized dosage and release kinetics are needed prior to evaluation in clinical settings. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
