(Ti-6Al-4V ELI, ASTM-F136)
Plasma sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA)Treated implants indicate high biocompatibility for bone regeneration of titanium implants.Sa 9.36

Eom et al. [18] Ti(1) Blasting HA Hybrid type coating shows higher bone implant contact and removal torque value ( Ncm) than other surfaces.1.2–1.8
(2) Blasting and dual acid etching (SLA)2.5–3.0
(3) hybrid-type coating with HA and blasting3.0–3.5

Darimont et al. [30]CP-Ti HA coating
Titanium plasma sprayed
HA coating exhibited higher value of bone contact and accelerated the formation of bone.NR

Simmons et al. [32]CP-Ti Sintered porous surface
Ti spray plasma
The adhesion properties of the porous surface implants are more stiffer and stronger than plasma sprayed implantsNR

Xie et al.
[33]
CP-Ti Plasma sprayed dicalcium silicate/ ZrO2Higher ZrO2 content coating layer exhibits smaller dissolution and lesser degree of degradation.NR

Aparicio et al. [34]CP-Ti
ASTM B348
(1) Acid etching Blasted and alkaline etched plus thermal formed rough and bioactive surface lead to accelerate bone tissue regeneration and increased mechanical retention in the bone.
(2) Grit blasting
(3) Grit blasted and alkaline etched + thermos chemical treatment

Ban et al. [35]CP-Ti Acid etching with variable parameter (temperature and time)Surface roughness increased as temperature and time increased.
Weight loss increased linearly with time and temperature.

CP-Ti Sandblasting with alumina and nitric acid etching (SLA)After surface treatment, cpTi implant achieved high biocompatibility with no cytotoxic.NR

Yang et al. [48]TiYSZ plasma spray
Acid etching
After acid etching, the Ti surface is roughened and may enhance the osseointegration.

Al-Radha et al. [53] Ti(1) Blasting with ZrO2 Blasted ZrO2 surface showed a very good effect on adhesion reducing almost similar to pure ZrO2 properties.
(2) Blasting with ZrO2 and acid etching (SLA)
