Piezoelectric materials for surface modification of titanium-based implants: material design, biological mechanisms, and translational challenges

Titanium and its alloys are widely used in orthopedic and dental implants and bone repair scaffolds because of their mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. However, their bioinert surfaces may still show poor early osseointegration, bacterial infection, inflammatory imbalance, and limited...
