摘要:Introduction: The use of biomaterial implants in medicine is becoming ever more popular, and on many occasions the use of biomaterial implants becomes a lifesaving procedure. A primary obstacle to a wider use of biomaterial implants is their risk of infection and unsuccessful tissue integration with the surface of biomaterials. For the creation of new substances various combinations of materials are used nowadays, thus forming composite materials. Composite materials are materials which consist of two or more components or phases, which according to their characteristics vary considerably, but they are mutually dissolvent or little solvent, and they have a distinct border surface.1 Most often titanium (Ti) and titanium fused implants are covered, as they are bioinert materials.2-4 HAp/TiO2 composite ceramic layer shows better linkage strength with the material if compared with pure HAp. By increasing TiO2 amount in the composite, its strengths also enhances, as well as TiO2 addition can decrease attachment of bacteria to the biomaterial, thus decreasing the possible infection risk of the implant; however infection risk around TiO2 containing implant is still a problem in medicine
